Chopped tomatoes
Finely Chopped Tomatoes
The Mutti Chopped Tomatoes maintains all the freshness of freshly-harvested tomatoes. It’s a unique product because it is chopped especially finely for an abundance of tomato pieces in every bite and a rich, consistent texture. Mutti Polpa brings together the tomato juice and its most pulpy part, a feature which makes it ideally suited for long cooking times even at high temperatures, like in the oven. Alternatively, it captures the fresh flavour of perfectly ripe tomatoes so well that it can be used straight from the tin in dishes like bruschetta or salsas. It is also ideal for homemade pizza, for recipes with meat, vegetables and legumes and to dress fresh durum wheat pasta or egg pasta

Where ever you need the taste of fresh tomatoes.
Chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Puree, Sieved Tomatoes and Peeled Tomatoes are the Mutti Tomato Essentials. Different in terms of color, taste and texture, each product has its own character and personality. Chopped Tomatoes have a bright red color, a texture rich with the finely minced pieces and an extraordinary fresh taste.
How is it made?
After the selection phase, the best tomatoes are crushed at room temperature (approx. 20°C) according to the patented Mutti® method that remains a closely guarded secret to this day.
The cans are filled with pulp at a temperature of approx. 80°C. They are then closed and pasteurized at 90°C for about an hour.
It takes 5 kilos of tomatoes to make 1 kilo of chopped tomatoes.

Polpa is a semi-cooked product that first is cold-processed and finally slightly cooked. It serves as the perfect base for any dish that craves the flavour of fresh summer tomato and a rich texture. It is unique as it is especially finely chopped, ensuring a rich and consistent texture with an abundance of tomato pieces in every bite. Peeled tomatoes have a more delicate flavour and a dual texture made up of the whole peeled tomatoes which are immersed in a creamy passata sauce. The Peeled Tomatoes are also surprisingly versatile – use them with their sauce, or use them separately; keep the tomatoes whole or crush, chop or slice them to whatever texture you prefer. If you want to make a stew, Polpa is ideal for long cooking times and brings a rich texture with an abundance of tomato pieces – but equally, if you are making a pizza, Polpa is suitable for high cooking temperatures so is great for a pizza sauce with a fresh taste. On the other hand, if you’re making a chunky tagine, Peeled Tomatoes are the best addition as they have a firm and fleshy texture and maintain their shape even over long cooking times.

Sustainability
For us, sustainability means respect for the land
Cooperation with WWF Italy
Mutti has worked closely with the WWF in Italy to help farmers find sustainable ways to reduce their water consumption and CO2 emissions. The Italian WWF not only set goals, but it also allowed farmers to analyze and review data to identify what they can do. For example, the organization recommended the use of special sensors that recognize the moisture content of the soil and provide useful information to support efficient water use.
Mutti invested in technology, education, and technical support for farmers and agricultural organizations. Even after our five-year project came to an end, we are still as committed as ever to minimizing our environmental impact and improving every step of our production.
Results:
+1000 million litres of water saved*
*between 2012 and 2014 (Source: Data Collected by CMCC, WWF and Mediterranean Climate Change Center in Italy)
+31530 tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) avoided.
*between 2010 and 2015 when compared to 2009 levels (Source: Data collected by Italian WWF and energy efficiency group Officinae Verd)
