Why
this tomato?
Stoffels’ tomato sauce is based on a generations-old tradition of using up produce after a hot summer to make a juice that will last through the winter. During periods of overproduction, we make delicious sauce with tomatoes that are at the pinnacle of their flavour. Tomatoes with a less-than-perfect appearance also end up in the jar.
Toma’amoris is a rich base sauce, with a powerful flavour and smooth texture. It’s a highly concentrated sauce, so is less runny than many sauces. The secret? A large quantity of cherry tomatoes, straight from the greenhouses at Stoffels! Free from preservatives, added sugars, flavour enhancers and colourings.
