Raw Material SelectionTomatoes are contracted only from farms neighboring our processing facilityRich soil, particular climate and water conditions within the well delineated growing area, impart a distinct terroir.Tomatoes are grown from non-GMO seeds and are vine ripened before being carefully selected for their quality.Once harvested, the tomatoes are transported to the processing plant and washed to prevent microbial growth.

Unique Qualities
Our Oven Roasted Tomatoes are consistent in quality and flavor with “Tomato Confit,” a marketing term which top chefs in France, New York, and California are using for tomatoes which have been prepared in the same manner. The tomatoes are slow-roasted at low temperature before being stored in oil. The effect is a concentrated tomato flavor without any of the intense bitterness of fire-roasted tomatoes. The product instantly upgrades the effect of any dish or finished manufactured product.
