Tomato Pulp Super Pizza Ardita Bag in Box 10 kg — Rodolfi 1896

Super Pizza Ardita: the pizza maker's tomato pulp in a 10 kg bag in box

Super Pizza Ardita is a finely crushed, lightly evaporated Italian tomato pulp produced by Rodolfi 1896 in the Parma area. Made exclusively from fresh, sound and ripe tomatoes processed within 24 hours of harvest, it reaches 8 degrees Brix with a creamy, high-yield texture designed for professional pizzerias. The 10 kg aseptic bag in box keeps for 24 months at room temperature, contains no allergens and is suitable for vegans.

What Polpa Super Pizza is

Unlike a classic passata, Polpa Super Pizza is a fine tomato pulp: the tomatoes are finely crushed and only lightly evaporated, so the product keeps the fibre and body of the fruit while gaining density. The technical sheet specifies 8 degrees Brix with a tolerance of one degree, a Bostwick consistency of maximum 9 cm at 30 degrees and a minimum Gardner A/B colour ratio of 1.80: in practice, a thick, vivid red base that does not soak the dough and spreads evenly with the ladle. The recipe lists only two ingredients: tomato and citric acid as acidity regulator (pH 4.2 in the bag in box version).

The producer: Rodolfi 1896, tomato specialists from Parma

Rodolfi Mansueto S.p.A. has been processing tomatoes since 1896 in Ozzano Taro, Collecchio, in the province of Parma, the heart of the Emilian food valley. All tomatoes are 100% Italian and the supply chain is certified UNI EN ISO 22005, guaranteeing full traceability from the field to the finished bag. Ardita Professional is the Rodolfi line dedicated to food service, and Super Pizza is its reference product for pizzerias.

Organoleptic profile

The colour is the typical bright red of ripe tomatoes, the fragrance is that of fresh tomato and the taste is clean, sweet and free of any aftertaste. The fine pulp texture gives a sauce that stays in place on the disc during baking and delivers a glossy, dense topping after the oven.

Professional uses in pizzeria and kitchen

Use it raw, straight from the bag: season with salt, oregano or basil and extra virgin olive oil, then spread from the centre of the disc outwards. It is the natural base for the Margherita tradition codified by AVPN, where tomato, fior di latte, basil and extra virgin olive oil bake in 60 to 90 seconds at 430 to 485 degrees in a wood-fired oven. The same pulp performs on Roman pizza, pizza al taglio and focaccia, and in the kitchen as a red base for parmigiana, amatriciana-style sauces and quick express sauces.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Cooking the pulp before topping the pizza: it is already ready to use, pre-cooking flattens the fresh tomato notes.
• Overloading the disc: an excessive layer releases water in the oven and produces a soggy base.
• Leaving the opened bag at room temperature: once opened, the bag must be refrigerated and used within a few days.

Why the bag in box format

The 10 kg aseptic bag in box was developed for high-volume pizzerias: it stores at room temperature for 24 months, takes less space than cans, produces less packaging waste and avoids metal disposal. Production code, production hour and expiry date are printed directly on the box for HACCP traceability. One bag covers an entire service without opening multiple tins.

Perfect pairings

Build the complete pizza station with type 00 flour, julienne-cut fior di latte, dried oregano and Italian extra virgin olive oil, all available in the LAPA catalogue as recommended companions of this pulp.
