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 coarse particles, resulting in a smooth and uniform final product.
This concentrate features a rich red color, appealing aroma, and thick, consistent texture.
It is free from fibers, foreign matter, and any undesirable tastes or odors.
Our products are manufactured in facilities certified under international food safety and quality systems (BRCGS, HACCP, GMP) and comply fully with HALAL and Kosher requirements.
