Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A popular pizzeria in Bristol, "The Bristol Dough Co.", was looking to improve the consistency of their pizza sauce and reduce the labour-intensive process of preparing it from whole tomatoes. They needed a solution that would deliver authentic flavour every single time.
"We made the switch to the Mutti passata 2.5kg tin a few months ago and the difference is incredible. The flavour is consistently bright and sweet, and our chefs have reclaimed a huge chunk of their prep time. Our customers have even commented on the improved quality of our sauce."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Bristol Dough Co.
The change resulted in a 100% consistent sauce base for every pizza and reduced their daily sauce preparation time by 45 minutes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using & Storing Your Passata
- Always use a clean, dry spoon or ladle when taking passata from the tin to prevent contamination.
- Store unopened tins in a cool, dry pantry or storeroom, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- The 2.5kg tin is perfect for making a large batch of base sauce to use across several days of service.
Keeping It Fresh After Opening
- Once opened, you must transfer any unused passata out of the metal tin.
- Store the remaining product in a clean, airtight, non-metallic container (glass or food-grade plastic is ideal).
- Keep refrigerated and aim to use it within 3-5 days for the best taste and food safety.
- For longer-term storage, you can freeze the passata in smaller, more manageable portions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this product suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
A: Yes, Mutti Passata contains only tomatoes and salt, making it perfectly suitable for both vegan and vegetarian diets.
Q: Is this passata gluten-free?
A: Yes, it is naturally gluten-free as it contains no wheat or gluten-based ingredients.
Q: Can I use this directly as a pizza sauce?
A: Absolutely. Its smooth texture and rich flavour make it an excellent base for pizza. Many chefs use it as is, while others might add a little garlic, oregano, or basil.
Q: What is the difference between passata and tomato purée?
A: Passata is uncooked, sieved tomatoes, while tomato purée (or concentrate) is cooked down to a much thicker paste. Passata is used as a base, while purée is used in smaller amounts to add intense flavour.
Q: Are there any sugars or preservatives added?
A: No, Mutti Passata is made from just 100% Italian tomatoes with a touch of salt. There are no added sugars, colourings, or preservatives.
Q: How long will this keep in the fridge after opening?
A: Once opened and transferred to an airtight container, it should be refrigerated and used within 3-5 days for optimal freshness and flavour.
Q: Can I freeze the leftovers?
A: Yes, passata freezes very well. We recommend freezing it in smaller, usable portions in freezer-safe bags or containers.
Q: What kind of tomatoes does Mutti use?
A: Mutti uses 100% sun-ripened, high-quality round tomatoes grown in Italy, prized for their natural sweetness and low acidity.

Explore more from MuttiWhy a 'Sieved' Passata Saves You More Than Just Time
You see 'sieved' on the label, but what does that really mean for your kitchen? Think of it like having a dedicated commis chef whose only job is to perfect tomatoes. In Italian, 'passata' literally means 'passed through'. Mutti takes sun-ripened tomatoes and passes them through fine mesh sieves, which expertly removes every single seed and piece of skin. This isn't just about smoothness; it's about purity of flavour. Skin can add bitterness and seeds can create a gritty texture, but this process eliminates them entirely. The result is a purée that is just the pure, sweet flesh of the tomato, saving you the messy, time-consuming job and guaranteeing a flawless, professional-grade sauce base every time.
Who Should Buy This?

- Cafés & Bistros: Ideal for daily specials like homemade tomato soup, shakshuka, or rich sauces for brunch.
