Passata della Maremma Toscana – Tuscan tomatoes at their best
In the south of Tuscany lies Maremma, a region with vast agricultural lands, a Mediterranean climate, and a rich culinary tradition.
Here, the tomatoes are grown for Cirio Le Selezioni Passata della Maremma Toscana Extrafine. This Italian tomato passata brings the taste of Tuscan cuisine directly to your pantry.
What makes this Tuscan passata special?
Not every tomato passata has the same texture. While a rustic passata may still contain bits of pulp, this one is Extrafine and is passed through a particularly fine sieve.
This results in a smooth, soft, and velvety texture that is excellent for dishes where the tomato needs to blend beautifully with the other ingredients.
The passata is made with tomatoes from Maremma Toscana and a small amount of salt. Without added herbs, you can determine the flavour direction of your dish.
The secret of a simple Italian pasta sauce
For a delicious Tuscan tomato sauce, you need surprisingly little.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan and let a lightly crushed clove of garlic gently infuse. Add the Cirio Passata della Maremma Toscana and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Season with fresh basil and possibly some freshly ground black pepper.
Mix the sauce with al dente cooked spaghetti, rigatoni or penne and finish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
A simple Italian dish in which the natural flavour of Tuscan tomatoes is central.
