Tomatoes

Tomatoes are among the most used ingredients in Mediterranean cuisine, thanks to their rich flavor and versatility that make them suitable for numerous preparations. In our range, there are two references: Primetta-branded tomatoes, with meaty pulp and balanced taste, ideal for appetizers, side dishes, and salads; and Neri dried tomatoes, more intense and flavorful, perfect for enriching focaccias, first courses, and fillings. Both are carefully processed to preserve the natural characteristics of the fruit, guaranteeing a stable, practical, and ready-to-use product.

Primetta products stand out for the classic processing method, making them a superior quality line. These are especially recommended for pizzerias and restaurants that prefer quality ingredients, such as Primetta pulp or tomato puree, made with tomatoes grown and processed in Tuscany. Neri dried tomatoes, on the other hand, are a more unique and bold product, used for seasonings but also to enrich appetizers and starters.

Tomatoes are a natural source of essential vitamins and minerals for our body. Among the main nutrients are vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps strengthen the immune system and fight free radicals. They are also rich in vitamin A, beneficial for eye health, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism.

Another key element present in tomatoes is lycopene, a natural antioxidant responsible for the bright red color. Lycopene is known for its benefits in preventing certain chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, and for its protective effect against cellular aging. The concentration of lycopene increases during cooking, making canned tomatoes an excellent nutritional choice.

Tomatoes also contain potassium, a mineral essential for regulating blood pressure and maintaining the body’s water balance. Their low-calorie but high-fiber composition makes them perfect for those who want to follow a healthy and balanced diet. Regular consumption of tomatoes contributes to overall well-being, promoting proper hydration and better digestion.
Canned peeled tomatoes and tomato pulp are extremely versatile ingredients in the kitchen, suitable for a wide variety of recipes. They are perfect for preparing rich and flavorful sauces, such as classic ragù or tomato sauce, but also lend themselves to simpler dishes like bruschetta or soups. Their soft texture and balanced flavor make them an excellent base for many preparations.

Thanks to careful packaging and the addition of basil, the tomatoes maintain a fresh and authentic flavor even after long storage periods. This makes them a practical solution to always have a quality ingredient on hand, ready to enhance any type of dish. From first courses to gourmet preparations, canned peeled tomatoes are an indispensable ally for cooking enthusiasts.

Their ability to adapt to various cooking techniques, such as boiling, stewing, or grilling, makes them a versatile ingredient that fits perfectly into any culinary tradition. Additionally, they can also be used raw, for example blended to create cold sauces or gazpacho. The versatility of canned tomatoes knows no bounds, making them a fundamental element of everyday cooking.
After opening, both Primetta tomatoes and dried tomatoes should be stored in the refrigerator, either in their preserving liquid or covered with oil, depending on the type of packaging. It is important to always use clean utensils when handling them to avoid contamination and maintain freshness longer.

If properly stored, they retain their flavor and texture for several days, allowing for progressive use. Neri uses packaging designed to ensure convenience even after opening, meeting the needs of those working in environments where speed and organization are essential.
