Description
The Italian classic: tomato, onion and fresh basil.
Tomato of Italian origin (85%) cooked slowly with a light soffritto of golden onion in extra virgin olive oil, finished with plenty of fresh basil (2%) and salt. It is the simplest sauce of the casareccia line and, in the producer’s words, the Italian sauce par excellence. No added sugar, no tomato concentrate, no preservatives or thickeners; pasteurised in the jar.
For restaurants and chefs. Fully cooked and ready: pour it into the pan over pasta drained al dente and toss for one minute over high heat, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil and grated cheese. It works for spaghetti al pomodoro, a children’s menu, a quick lunch special and as a topping for pizza. One jar dresses three to four portions, which keeps service fast on busy shifts.
For specialty and Italian stores. Tomato and basil is the most requested ready sauce at any price level and sells all year round. The short ingredient list and the slow cooking story give staff a clear reason to recommend it over mass brands. It pairs on the same purchase with dried pasta and a hard cheese, and the jar suits small gift baskets.
