ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The key to the best tomato sauce starts with fresh tomatoes picked at the perfect moment of ripeness—as done by the Belfiore family of Masseria Mirogallo. After harvest, the tomatoes are immediately processed into a passata (fresh tomato purée, or strained tomatoes) and bottled when the purée is rich and dense in texture. The Belfiore family is masterful at capturing the balance of sweetness and acidity that graces the perfectly ripe summer tomato.
