Tomatoes All Year

Tomato season may officially be over, but we've found three kinds of beautiful jarred Italian tomatoes from Masseria Dauna to keep you tomato happy all year long.

Grown in the mountains of Puglia Italy, Masseria Dauna products contain no preservatives and capture juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes at their peak of flavor. Try all three varieties, available exclusively at Market Hall Foods.

Spaccatelle di Pomodoro

Tomato Wedges

Our favorite of the bunch, these might just be the freshest jarred tomatoes we've ever tasted. Skins left on, the wedges hold their shape during cooking, which makes these an excellent choice whenever you wish to preserve the look or texture of big tomato pieces in your finished dishes. Bake tomato wedges on top of homemade focaccia, or try our recipe for Calabrian Fusilli with Tomato Sauce.

Passata di Pomodoro

Tomato Purée

Think of this smooth, strained purée as a blank canvas for your homemadpasta sauce masterpiece. Begin by sautéing garlic in olive oil. Add chile flakes for arrabbiata sauce, or anchovy paste, capers and olives for puttanesca. Then add Passata, simmer until thickened and season to taste. Done! Not feeling noodles? Make a batch of tomato bisque with Passata or drink it up in a fresh tasting Bloody Mary.

Pomodori Pelati a Mano

Whole Peeled Tomatoes

These are simply hand-peeled, hand-packed whole Italian tomatoes, no salt added. When cooked, the soft, juicy fruits break into pieces — just right for a chunky sauce. Crush them up to make bruschetta, a hearty ragù or quick marinara sauce, or use the whole tomatoes in braised meat dishes such as chicken cacciatore.

I say tomato, you say "right now!"

Need Some Pasta for That Sauce?

Try Fusilli al Ferretto

Fusilli al Ferretto is one of the newest pasta shapes from Rustichella d'Abruzzo. This curly shape from Calabria in Southern Italy is traditionally made by wrapping strands of pasta around a knitting needle-shaped stick.
