Passata
Mutti® Sieved Tomatoes (Passata) is sun-ripened 100% Italian tomatoes transformed into a sweet velvety passata with just a touch of Mediterranean sea salt. After eliminating the skin and seeds, the tomatoes are pureed to achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while maintaining their bright red color and naturally sweet flavor. Fantastic in marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary.
Ideal for: Sauces, pies, soups, cold dishes
How is it made?
After the u003cstrongu003eselection phaseu003c/strongu003e, the best tomatoes are u003cstrongu003ecrushed and heated to a temperature above 90°Cu003c/strongu003e. The juice is separated from the skin, pips and cellulose using a centrifugal process.
u003cstrong data-rich-text-format-boundary=u0022trueu0022u003eConcentration occurs through evaporationu003c/strongu003e within a vacuum inside stainless steel tanks. The temperature of 65°C helps to retain the flavor properties of the product before it moves on to the pasteurization stage.
The passata is ready for packaging once it has been heated to around u003cstrongu003e92°Cu003c/strongu003e to ensure that it is microbiologically stable. The bottles are filled while the passata is still hot, left for several seconds at 92°C, then cooled in water.

Calabrian tuna with sieved tomatoes
Meaty tuna—we recommend fresh, but jarred also works—stands up to the bold, chili-infused tomato sauce. Pro tip: Moderate the heat on your pan as noted below to reach proper sear when needed (for protein) and gentle heat when needed (for aromatics).
