Processed tomato paste (concentrate) is produced by concentrating the juice or pulp extracted from fresh, ripe, and mature red tomatoes (Lycopersicon/Lycopersicum esculentum).
The tomatoes are strained to remove skins, seeds, and all coarse particles, resulting in a smooth and uniform product. The concentrate has a rich red color, pleasant flavor and aroma, and a thick, homogeneous texture.
It is free from fibers, foreign materials, and any undesirable tastes or odors.
Our products are manufactured in facilities certified under internationally recognized food safety and quality management systems such as BRCGS, HACCP, and GMP.
All products fully comply with HALAL and Kosher requirements.
