Ortolina

€1,90

A legendary sauce from Parma's culinary tradition, Ortolina takes its name from the first ready-made tube sauce, a success in Italian and international kitchens since 1936. Only the finest Italian tomatoes, carefully selected and picked at the perfect level of ripeness, processed to the highest quality standards, become Ortolina products.

Brand : Rodolfi Spa
Production Plant : Parma - Italy
Note : Italian tomato
Ingredients : Tomato paste, (celery, carrot, onion, parsley 17%), olive oil 3.5%, sugar, aromatic herbs, salt

Cooking method : Added to a slow tomato sauce to season beans, to a reduced sauce for mushroom soup, as the sole condiment for sautéed beans

The aroma is pleasant, and the consistency is moderately dense. Upon first tasting, it's quite sweet, with the onion and carrot flavors easily discernible; the tomato paste isn't overpowering and leaves no aftertaste. When cooked, the sweetness of the product means it can't be used as the sole ingredient in a sauce, but it does add flavor to a concentrated sauce or a slightly acidic sauce.
