Masseria Mirogallo Tomato Sauce Set

Description

Carefully cultivating seeds from the previous harvest, the Belfiore family of Masseria Mirogallo replants their own heirloom tomatoes year after year. The tomatoes are hand-harvested then processed just steps away in their state-of-the-art kitchen, often mere minutes after being picked. They are blanched, hand-peeled, and made into passata (fresh tomato purée) in small batches, then cooked with extra virgin olive oil and blended with farm-grown vegetables.

The farm’s vine-ripe tomatoes are picked at the perfect point of ripeness and consistency to ensure unequaled color and flavor. The tomatoes are blanched for a few seconds to remove the peel, passed through a mill, sieved and then set on colanders to drain in order to achieve the right consistency.
