Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
‘La Trattoria Piccola’, a family-run Italian eatery in Bath, was struggling with waste from large tins of tomato paste and inconsistent flavour in their signature arrabbiata sauce. They switched to the Mutti KA138 tomato puree tubes to gain better control over portioning.
"The difference was immediate. We use exactly what we need, the flavour is consistently brilliant, and the resealable tube is just so practical for our small kitchen. Our regulars have even commented on how rich the sauces are now."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The change led to a measured 20% reduction in tomato product waste and significantly improved sauce consistency across their menu.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using Your Puree
- A little goes a long way! Start with a small squeeze and add more to taste.
- It's fantastic for enriching stocks and gravies with an umami-rich depth.
- Try mixing a small amount with olive oil and herbs for a simple, no-cook pasta sauce or dressing.
- Bloom it in hot oil at the start of a recipe to toast the puree and deepen its flavour even further.
Storing It Properly
- Always refrigerate the tube after you've broken the seal.
- Before putting the cap back on, gently squeeze the tube to remove any excess air.
- For best flavour, aim to use the contents within 2-3 weeks of opening.
- You can freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray for perfectly portioned flavour bombs later on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this product the same as tomato passata?
A: No, this is a double-concentrated puree, which is much thicker and has a more intense flavour than passata. Passata is a smooth, uncooked, sieved tomato liquid.
Q: Can I use this to make pizza sauce?
A: Absolutely. It's ideal for pizza sauce as its low water content prevents a soggy base. Simply dilute it slightly with water or oil and season to your liking.
Q: How is this different from regular tomato paste?
A: 'Double concentrated' is a specific standard of concentration (usually 28-30% dry solids). It ensures a consistent level of intensity and richness that you can rely on.
Q: Is this product suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets?
A: Yes, the ingredients are simply tomatoes and a touch of salt. It is naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan.
Q: How long will the tube last in the fridge once opened?
A: When stored correctly in the refrigerator, it will maintain its quality for a good few weeks. Always check for any signs of spoilage before use.
Q: What's the best way to incorporate it into a sauce?
A: For the best flavour, add the puree to your pan with the onions and garlic and 'fry' it for a minute before adding liquids. This caramelises the sugars and deepens the flavour.
Q: Can I use this without cooking it?
A: Yes, it's perfectly safe and delicious used raw. Try mixing it into a vinaigrette, a dip, or spreading a thin layer on a sandwich for a fresh tomato kick.
Q: Does this contain any sugar or preservatives?
A: No, Mutti prides itself on its simple, clean ingredients. This product contains only 100% Italian tomatoes and a pinch of salt, with no added sugars, additives, or preservatives.
The Mutti Difference: A Foundation of Quality
When you choose Mutti, you're not just buying a tomato product; you're investing in over 120 years of Italian heritage and an obsession with quality. Mutti works directly with its farmers, even awarding the prestigious 'Pomodorino d'Oro' (golden tomato) prize to those who grow the highest quality crop. For a professional kitchen, this translates into something invaluable: absolute consistency. You get the same sweetness, colour, and intensity in every tube, every time. This commitment eliminates the guesswork and variability that can come from lesser brands, ensuring your signature dishes taste exactly as you intended. It’s a foundation of trust and reliability that allows chefs to focus on creativity, knowing their core ingredients are quite simply the best they can be.
Explore more from MuttiWhat Does 'Double Concentrated' Really Mean for Your Dishes?
Ever made a sauce that ended up a bit watery after adding tomato puree? That's what 'double concentrated' is designed to prevent. Think of it like this: it's not just about boiling tomatoes down, it’s a precise process of evaporating water to intensify what's left. It’s the difference between a weak squash and a quality cordial – one dilutes the flavour, the other enhances it. For your cooking, this means you add a massive punch of pure, sweet tomato flavour without adding excess liquid. This is crucial for dishes like pizza, where a wet base means a soggy crust, or a rich ragù, where you want depth without it becoming a soup. You get all of the flavour and none of the water-logging.
