Cooked meats - Import export

Every Italian region has at least one tomato dish in its culinary culture, which says a lot about the organoleptic and health properties of this vegetable, as well as its versatility in the kitchen. In particular, the diced product is suitable for recipes where you want to enhance the texture of the fruit for its particular flavour. As a semi-raw food, it is ideal for the classic bruschetta, but also as a base for quick and easy sauces and stews. Of course, it is also suitable for longer cooking, such as braised meats and soups, and is perfect, together with peeled tomatoes, for enhancing fish. Diced tomato conserve, obtained after peeling and chopping, is one of the most valuable tomato products. The technology required for optimal processing demands high quality standards precisely to ensure the best possible yield and maintain the consistency and fragrance of the fresh product.

Tomato concentrate, also known as tomato extract, is derived from heated tomato juice, from which a certain amount of water is then subtracted. The amount of water extraction determines three different types of concentrate: single concentrate, double concentrate and triple concentrate. Tomato concentrate has many uses in cooking, especially in long cooking of meat or sauces. The concentrate can be added directly to the preparation during cooking, diluted with water to preference. It can also be used to give more body to a tomato sauce, or as a substitute for similar products like béchamel and ketchup. The concentrate is not harmful to health but, on the contrary, has antioxidant properties due to its high lycopene content. This is a natural substance, one of the carotenoids, and is found in many foods. In fact tomatoes are the largest source of lycopene, and cooking increases its beneficial effects.
