Traditional Tomato Passata – 700 g

Passata di Pomodori – Die klassische Grundlage der italienischen Trattoria

No authentic Italian meal is complete without a good passata. This is the ‘gold standard’: rich, deep red and prepared according to the centuries-old tradition of Italian home cooking.

At Kelvini, Italian Artisan, we believe that true class lies in mastering the basics. This Passata di Pomodori from Sole e Sapori is proof that you don’t need dozens of ingredients to create a wonderful meal – just one fantastic ingredient.

This passata is made from the finest, sun-kissed tomatoes, picked at the peak of ripeness. Unlike industrial varieties, which are often watery and have added sugars or acids, here you can taste the pure, full flavour of the fruit. It is a sauce with depth, a subtle sweetness and that characteristic, savoury tomato essence that you normally only find in the small trattorias in the heart of Italy. Whether you’re whipping up a quick pasta dish for a weekday evening or letting a ragù simmer for hours: with this passata, you’ll lay the foundation for a meal that people will remember.

Why we chose this Passata:

• The Classic Choice: The perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, ideal for any type of sauce.

• Authentic Texture: Just the right thickness: not too thin, not too thick. It clings perfectly to your pasta.

• No Hidden Additives: Purely natural, just as the farmer intended.

• Kelvini’s Basics: A must-have in the larder of any home cook with a passion for Italian cuisine.

The Kelvini Tip: This is your ultimate ‘sugo base’. Fry a finely chopped onion and some garlic in our extra virgin olive oil until translucent. Add a handful of fresh basil leaves and pour in the passata. Leave to reduce over a low heat for 15 minutes. The result? A sauce so pure that all you need to do is sprinkle some good-quality Parmesan on top. Sometimes less really is more.
