Question 1

Why is this tomato sauce less acidic than most?

Accepted Answer

Because of the tomato, not an additive. Cherry tomatoes picked fully ripe are naturally less sharp than the underripe ones in standard jarred sauce. We add no baking soda and no acid neutralizers — nothing in the jar corrects the tomato.

Question 2

Is this sauce organic?

Accepted Answer

Our growers farm without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or insecticides, to EU food standards, and the sauce is lab tested. But, it's not certified organic.

Question 3

Does it contain preservatives or added sugar?

Accepted Answer

Neither. Four ingredients — cherry tomatoes, basil, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt — and 0 g added sugars on the panel. It keeps because it is sealed in glass in boiling water, the way it has always been done.

Question 4

Is it really made with cherry tomatoes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sicilian cherry tomatoes, grown and jarred on the island, picked ripe rather than early. Cherry tomatoes are why the sauce tastes sweet without sugar in it.

Question 5

What dishes can I use it for?

Accepted Answer

Pasta of any shape, a pizza base straight from the jar, polenta, warm dipping for bread, eggs poached in it, or as a simmer sauce for chicken or pork.

Question 6

Can I add my own garlic or spices?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it is a pure base by design. Season half the pot for the table and keep half plain for whoever needs it plain. One jar, two dinners, no separate pots.

Question 7

What makes it different from mass-produced sauce?

Accepted Answer

One valley, four ingredients, cooked slowly and sealed in glass. No tomato concentrate, no starch, no flavour enhancers, no plastic and no tin.

Question 8

How do I use it?

Accepted Answer

Warm it through and serve. It is finished as it is — over pasta, spread on pizza dough, simmered with eggs broken into it, or warmed in a bowl for bread.

Question 9

How much sauce do I get?

Accepted Answer

Four glass jars, 333 g each, 1,332 g in total. Each jar holds about five servings.

Question 10

Why doesn't it need added sugar or extra salt?

Accepted Answer

Ripe cherry tomatoes are sweet on their own, so there is nothing to balance out. The salt is Trapani sea salt and there is a pinch of it — it is the fourth ingredient, not a seasoning layer.
