Whole Peeled Tomatoes 6x2500 g — Sica Verde Sì

Whole peeled tomatoes Sica Verde Sì in the 2500 g professional tin, carton of 6 (15 kg in total): 100% Italian, non-GMO tomatoes with only tomato juice and citric acid (E330) as acidity regulator. Packed by SICA s.r.l. in the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino district (Salerno, Campania), they are the everyday sauce base for pizzerias and restaurants that want constant quality and a clean label.

What Are Whole Peeled Tomatoes

Pelati are ripe long tomatoes, scalded, peeled and canned whole in their own juice. The format was born in Campania, where Francesco Cirio started the Italian canning industry in 1856; the area around San Marzano sul Sarno remains the historic heart of Italian tomato processing. Crushed by hand or passed through a food mill, pelati deliver a fresher, brighter sauce than any pre-cooked product.

The Producer: SICA s.r.l.

SICA s.r.l. was founded in 1996 and has been led since the beginning by Silvestro Oliva and his family. Headquartered in San Marzano sul Sarno with its processing plant in Pagani (Salerno), the company works exclusively with Italian tomatoes for the Ho.Re.Ca channel, packing about 90,000 tonnes of finished product per year, of which around 30,000 tonnes are exported worldwide. Verde Sì is the Sica line dedicated to professional kitchens.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Whole tomatoes with firm flesh, immersed in dense tomato juice. Bright red colour, balanced sweetness and acidity, clean tomato aroma without cooked notes. The structure holds during baking: ideal where the sauce must stay vivid even after 60-90 seconds at 430-485 °C in a wood-fired oven.

Professional Uses

• Neapolitan pizza: crush the pelati by hand or pass them once through a food mill, season with salt and fresh basil — no pre-cooking, as the AVPN tradition for Marinara and Margherita requires.
• Express sauces: a base for pasta sauces, parmigiana and ragù; the dense juice reduces quickly without losing freshness.
• Batch service: one 2500 g tin (1700 g drained) covers a full evening pizza service without repeatedly opening small formats, cutting waste and prep time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Blending the tomatoes at high speed: it incorporates air and breaks the seeds, making the sauce bitter and pale. Crush by hand or use a food mill.
• Pre-cooking the sauce for Neapolitan pizza: classic Marinara and Margherita call for raw tomato, which cooks directly on the dough.
• Storing the opened tin in the fridge as is: always transfer to a food-grade container, keep below 4 °C and use within 3 days.
