Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

If you're passionate about the pure taste of ripe tomatoes, this sauce is sure to become your favourite. Its rich flavour comes from two varieties of tomatoes, both grown, hand-harvested, and traditionally processed in Apulia.

First, there are fresh tomatoes, crafted into a simple, artisanal passata, just as tradition demands. Then, there are sun-dried tomatoes, which are added to the passata to create a bold and distinctive flavour. Naturally dried in the sun on open-air frames, these tomatoes develop a concentrated, full-bodied taste that's simply irresistible.

This sun-dried tomato sauce captures the essence of Apulian country cooking. Simply heat it up and toss it with rigatoni or use it to dress Sunday meatballs. No extra ingredients needed.
