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.
