The Donna Francesca 100% Italian Tomato Passata is created to tell the story of the Puglian summer through a simple, everyday gesture: bringing the authentic taste of ripe tomatoes to the table.
It is the result of a short supply chain, fresh artisanal processing, and carefully selected tomatoes grown and transformed in full respect of their natural timing.
The tomatoes, 100% Italian and grown in Puglia, are harvested at peak ripeness, when the sun has concentrated aromas, natural sweetness, and vibrant colour within the flesh.
Processed just a few hours after harvest, they are transformed into a velvety, intense, and naturally well-balanced passata.
The quality of our passata begins in the field.
The tomatoes are selected directly at harvest and irrigated with naturally slightly salty water, typical of Puglia’s coastal areas, which helps give the fruit a natural savouriness.
After harvesting, the tomatoes are washed, blanched, and passed using gentle processes that respect the structure of the fruit.
The passata is then jarred and pasteurised, without the addition of preservatives, sugars, or thickeners, in order to preserve the fresh tomato’s aroma, colour, and organoleptic qualities.
The result is a 100% Italian Tomato Passata with a vibrant red colour, a smooth, velvety texture, and a full, clean flavour.
A passata that never overpowers, but rather enhances, leaving room for the kitchen and the creativity of those who use it.
Tomato passata is one of the most versatile ingredients in Mediterranean cuisine, and our passata is crafted with exactly this in mind: to adapt effortlessly to simple, everyday recipes as well as to slower, more elaborate preparations.
It is perfect for a classic tomato pasta made with just a few ingredients: a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a fresh basil leaf, and a short cooking time to preserve the tomato’s freshness.
In this preparation, the passata releases all its natural sweetness and the unmistakable aroma of summer.
When left to cook for longer, it becomes the ideal base for rich, enveloping sauces.
Gently simmered, the passata concentrates and gains depth, making it perfect for meat ragùs, vegetarian sauces with seasonal vegetables, and traditional dishes such as lasagne and parmigiana.
In the kitchen, it is also invaluable for pizza: its balanced consistency allows it to be spread easily over the dough, maintaining both structure and flavour even after baking.
The result is a fragrant base, never watery, that enhances the other ingredients.
The passata also lends itself beautifully to slower preparations such as soups, veloutés, and legumes cooked in sauce.
Combined with chickpeas, beans, or lentils, it adds roundness and character to the dish, making it complete and satisfying without the need for artificial additions.
It is also ideal for accompanying main courses: a simple tomato sauce for white meats, meatballs, or fish stews, where the passata binds the ingredients together and enhances their flavour without overpowering them.
This tomato sauce is designed for everyday use, yet with the quality of an artisanal product.
It is the kind of ingredient that can turn a meal around in just a few minutes, while also being able to elevate more elaborate recipes when time allows.
Its velvety texture and clean aromatic profile make it suitable for both traditional cooking and more contemporary interpretations, including vegetarian and vegan dishes, always guided by simplicity.
Beyond its flavour, tomato sauce offers important nutritional benefits.
It is naturally rich in lycopene, vitamins, and mineral salts, and is a light, easily digestible food.
Choosing an artisanal tomato sauce, free from added sugars and thickeners, means bringing to the table a genuine product that combines well-being, taste, and respect for the raw ingredients.
