Whole Tomatoes Rosso Gargano in 2.5 kg Printed Cans

Whole peeled tomatoes in large catering tins offer a ready-to-use ingredient that eliminates the labour of washing, peeling and deseeding fresh tomatoes. The tomatoes are harvested at peak ripeness, then washed and mechanically peeled to remove skins while preserving the fruit's structure. Each tomato is inspected and selected for uniformity before being packed in its own juice, which is prepared from crushed tomatoes that have been sieved to remove skins and seeds. The juice undergoes gentle concentration to intensify flavour without altering the natural acidity, and citric acid is added only if needed to standardise the pH. The filled tins are sealed, pasteurised to extend shelf life, and rapidly cooled to lock in freshness and texture.

To use, open the tin with a commercial can opener, drain the juice if the recipe requires firmer tomatoes, or retain it for sauces and soups. The tomatoes hold their shape during simmering and can be left whole, halved or crushed as needed. Each 2.5 kg printed tin is designed for bulk storage and easy identification on the shelf.

The tins are made of tinplate, a material chosen for its strength, barrier properties and recyclability. The printed exterior carries the Rosso Gargano branding and product information, reducing the need for additional labelling in a busy kitchen.

Ingredients are limited to tomatoes, tomato juice and citric acid as an acidity regulator. The nutritional profile per 100 g shows minimal fat and salt, with natural sugars and protein from the tomatoes themselves.

The product is sourced from Italy and is supplied in a minimum order quantity of 30 packs, each pack containing six 2.5 kg tins. This bulk format suits professional kitchens that require consistent quality and volume for daily preparation.

Cleaning is straightforward: empty tins are rinsed and disposed of in metal recycling streams, leaving no residue that would require specialised cleaning agents or procedures.
