Knife-Cut Semi-Dried Red Tomatoes Tin 750 g (Carton 6) — Ristoris

Ristoris knife-cut semi-dried red tomatoes come in a 4/4 format tin of 750 g, packed in cartons of 6 (EAN 8056515240334). Italian red tomatoes (57%) are cut by knife into irregular wedges, gently semi-dried to retain juice and texture, then seasoned with sunflower seed oil, parsley, oregano, garlic and a touch of hot pimento. Excellent cold or heated, ready to use in professional kitchens.

What Are Knife-Cut Semi-Dried Tomatoes?

Semi-dried tomatoes are the gentler evolution of the southern Italian tradition of dried tomatoes: part of the water is removed during a short drying phase, while the pulp keeps its juice and a soft, fleshy bite. The knife cut into irregular wedges distinguishes this Ristoris recipe from standard industrial julienne formats, giving each plate a handcrafted appearance. The result is a concentrated tomato flavour with an intense aroma, without the chewy dryness of fully sun-dried tomatoes.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Bright red wedges with an irregular, rustic cut. The aroma is intense and sunny, with clear notes of oregano, parsley and garlic and a light spicy finish from hot pimento. On the palate the tomato remains juicy and fleshy, with a natural sweetness of 7.8 g of sugars per 100 g drained, balanced by a measured salt content of 1.25 g per 100 g.

Professional Uses in the Kitchen

• Pizza topping after baking: add 40-50 g of drained wedges as the pizza leaves the oven to preserve aroma and texture.
• First courses: toss 60-80 g per portion into spaghetti or paccheri with garlic, oil and basil; excellent both cold and gently heated.
• Bruschetta and starters: combine with burrata or stracciatella on toasted ciabatta for a high-margin antipasto in under 2 minutes.
• Salads and pasta salads: drained wedges keep their shape and do not release excess liquid into cold preparations.
• Side dish: serve warm as a vegetable side for grilled meat or fish, straight from the tin after a brief pass in the pan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Baking the wedges at full oven temperature: the herbs burn and the tomato dries out; add after baking or in the last minutes only.
• Using the wedges without draining: excess seasoning oil can unbalance cold dishes; drain and reuse the oil to season the same preparation.
• Storing the opened tin in the refrigerator as it is: always transfer the product to a suitable food container with the remaining oil on top.

Recommended Pairings

The intense, herby profile pairs naturally with fresh pasta filata cheeses such as burrata and mozzarella, with pitted Taggiasca olives, capers and anchovies, and with rustic breads such as multigrain ciabatta. In the pizzeria it works alongside fior di latte and oregano for express gourmet toppings.
