Rustichella d’Abruzzo Heirloom Tomato Passata

Part of Rustichella d’Abruzzo’s PrimoGrano line, this passata showcases the heirloom Pera d’Abruzzo tomato—a prized varietal native to the Abruzzo region. Known for its juicy pulp, minimal seeds and naturally sweet, low-acid flavor, this tomato captures the pure, sun-ripened taste of Abruzzo.

Harvested at peak ripeness and processed within hours, the tomatoes are hand-selected one by one—even by scent—for quality. They’re milled into a thick, velvety purée and jarred with just a touch of salt to let their natural flavor shine. Traditionally, passata preserves the essence of summer for cooking through the winter months.

Ideal for pasta sauces, braised meats, or soups. Use it as a base for bolognese, beef braciole, or a rich tomato soup when you crave the warmth of summer flavor year-round.
