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.
