Description
Organic tomato sauce with aubergines and a hint of mint.
Aubergine and mint is a classic pairing of Southern Italian cooking. Onion and aromatics are softened first, then fresh tomato passata and diced aubergine are added and cooked together, with basil and a final note of mint. The sauce is jarred and pasteurised to keep at room temperature. The declared ingredients are organic fresh tomato passata, organic aubergines, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic onion, organic garlic, organic mint, organic basil and salt. Pieces of aubergine remain visible in the red-brown sauce, and the mint gives a fresh finish.
For restaurants and chefs. With aubergine already diced and cooked, this jar takes care of the slowest step of a pasta alla Norma style dish. According to the producer, one jar dresses about 250 g of pasta, two to three portions: add it to the drained pasta and toss in the pan for one or two minutes. Finish with grated ricotta salata or pecorino and torn basil. It also works as a filling for baked pasta and as a sauce for grilled fish or meatballs.
For specialty and Italian stores. Aubergine sauce is less common than plain tomato, so it adds variety to a sauce range and gives customers a vegetable-forward option. The mint is a point of difference staff can mention in a sentence, together with the organic ingredients from one farm in Puglia. Pair it with short pasta and a hard cheese from the counter. Shelf life of 36 months from production allows a broad assortment with little waste.
