Chef’s Choice Certified Organic Passata di Pomodoro with Basil is a superior tomato base made from the highest quality organic tomatoes and basil, hand picked and ripened under the beautiful Italian sun. The tomatoes are skinned, crushed and sieved to remove the seeds, leaving only the most succulent parts of the tomato. Passata is the key ingredient in many pasta sauces, and also makes an excellent base for pizzas, curries and soups.
