These Nicolas Vahé Peeled Tomatoes with Basil are peeled tomatoes in a 530 g jar of water with basil leaves. The tomatoes are harvested only in June and July, when they are full of flavor. They are then processed in Italy by a small company that works with great attention to quality.

This is not a standard jar of tomatoes, but a seasonal product with limited availability. Because the tomatoes are tied to the harvest period, once they’re gone, they’re gone. A new batch is expected to be available again next year around the new harvest season.

The generous glass jar has a net content of 530 g and a total weight of 1.3 kg. The tomatoes have a soft texture and a fresh, pure tomato flavor. Thanks to the simple combination of tomato, water, salt, lemon juice and basil, they make a great base for pasta sauce, pizza, soup and slow-cooked sauces.

For pasta, pizza and sauces

Use these peeled tomatoes when you want to quickly make a good base for a dish. Let them simmer gently with garlic, onion and olive oil for a simple tomato sauce. They also work beautifully on pizza, in shakshuka, with meatballs or in an oven dish.

Tips for use

• Use as a base for pasta sauce with garlic, onion and olive oil.
• Let it simmer briefly for a simple pizza sauce.
• Add to stews, soup or casseroles.
• Finish with fresh basil, pepper and a good olive oil.
