Tomato paste is one of the most essential ingredients in the food industry, widely used in sauces, ketchups, ready meals, and canned products. At KATO Fresh Food, the production of tomato paste begins with carefully selected fresh, ripe red tomatoes sourced directly from trusted farms.

The tomatoes are thoroughly washed, sorted, and crushed to extract juice and pulp. Skins and seeds are removed to achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture. Depending on the intended application, the paste is processed using either Hot Break or Cold Break technology to preserve color, flavor, and consistency.

The extracted pulp is then concentrated through advanced evaporation systems under controlled conditions to reach the required Brix levels. Strict quality control procedures are applied at every stage to ensure compliance with international food safety standards such as HACCP and GMP.

As a result, KATO tomato paste delivers rich red color, strong natural flavor, and consistent texture, making it a trusted ingredient for food manufacturers worldwide.
