What it is
This is a gourmet sun-dried tomato preparation: tomatoes are sun-dried to concentrate their sugars and umami, then rehydrated and blended with sunflower oil, wine vinegar, salt and a mix of spices and aromatic herbs. The result is a soft, spoonable condiment that keeps the characteristic chewy texture and deep red colour of the dried fruit, ready to use straight from the jar with no further preparation.
Origin
Sun-drying tomatoes is a preservation technique rooted in Southern Italy, where the strong summer sun was traditionally used to dry tomatoes on wooden racks. This preparation is made in Italy from carefully selected raw materials, favouring Italian origin wherever possible, in line with the producer's sourcing policy.
The producer
The product is made by Ristoris srl, based in Broni in the province of Pavia, Lombardy. Ristoris is specialised in producing, selecting and distributing Italian specialities for the HoReCa sector, with more than twenty product ranges spanning tomatoes, sauces, creams and condiments. Processing takes place in plants certified to the ISO, BRC and IFS international food-safety standards.
Sensory profile
The salsa has a deep brick-red colour and a dense, rustic texture studded with visible pieces of tomato. On the palate it is intensely sweet-savoury, with the concentrated fruitiness of dried tomato balanced by the gentle acidity of wine vinegar and the warmth of aromatic herbs. The sunflower-oil base keeps the flavour clean and lets the tomato lead.
Professional uses
Spread it on bruschetta and crostini for a fast, high-impact antipasto. Stir it through hot pasta or risotto as a no-cook sauce, fold it into a panino or focaccia filling, or use it to enrich frittatas, savoury tarts and pizza bianca. It also works as a flavour booster in cold pasta salads and on charcuterie and cheese boards. A typical professional portion is about 15-20 g.
Pairings
It pairs naturally with Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, fresh mozzarella and aged pecorino, with Pasta di Gragnano IGP and with a finishing drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. On a board it sits well next to cured meats, olives and crusty bread.
