Bell Orto Whole Tomato Puree delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Pasta sauce base: Simmer with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a classic marinara or build a meaty Bolognese that feeds a full dining room.
Soup and stew thickener: Stir into minestrone, Tuscan white bean soup, or beef stew to add body and natural tomato sweetness.
Pizza and flatbread topping: Spread a thin, even layer over dough for a traditional pizza sauce that bakes without pooling or making the crust soggy.
Braising liquid: Combine with stock and aromatics as the cooking liquid for braised short ribs, osso buco, or chicken cacciatore.
Chili and baked beans: Add depth and color to chili con carne or slow-baked beans without introducing chunky tomato pieces that compete with other textures.
Shakshuka and egg dishes: Pour into a skillet with cumin and paprika, then crack eggs directly into the simmering puree for a satisfying one-pan breakfast or brunch.

Common Applications

Bell Orto Whole Tomato Puree is a workhorse in any kitchen that runs tomato-based items on the menu. In Italian restaurants, it serves as the backbone of daily marinara, puttanesca, and vodka cream sauces. Pizzerias use it as a quick-spread pizza sauce that requires no further pureeing or straining. Catering operations value the large can size for buffet-style pasta bars, baked ziti pans, and lasagna assembly lines. Beyond Italian cuisine, the puree adds color and acidity to Mexican-style rice, Indian curries like butter chicken, and Caribbean oxtail stew. Any recipe that calls for a smooth tomato foundation without chunks will perform well with this product.

Preparation & Use

Open the can and use the puree directly; no additional straining or blending is required. For a standard pasta sauce, combine one can with sauteed aromatics and seasonings, then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes to develop flavor and reach the desired consistency. To thin the puree for soup, add stock or water incrementally until the target viscosity is reached. Leftover puree transfers well to airtight containers and refrigerates for up to five days, or freezes for up to three months. Once opened, do not store the puree in the original steel can; move it to a non-reactive container to preserve flavor and quality.
