Bella Rosa Tomato Puree Extra Heavy, 107 Ounce, 6 Per Case

Bella Rosa Tomato Puree Extra Heavy delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Pizza sauce base: Season directly with herbs, garlic, and oil for a quick, full-bodied pizza sauce that holds its shape on dough without making crusts soggy.
Pasta and marinara sauces: Use as the foundation for marinara, bolognese, or arrabbiata; the extra-heavy consistency means less reduction time to reach coating thickness.
Soups and stews: Stir into minestrone, Tuscan white bean soup, or beef stew for concentrated tomato flavor and natural thickening.
Chili and braises: Add to ground beef chili, chicken cacciatore, or braised short ribs where a robust tomato backbone and hearty texture are essential.
Shakshuka and egg dishes: Simmer directly in a skillet with spices and poach eggs on top; the thick puree cradles the eggs without spreading thin across the pan.

Applications

Bella Rosa Extra Heavy Tomato Puree fits wherever a kitchen needs deep tomato flavor and substantial body without extended reduction. In Italian restaurants, it serves as the direct-start base for house marinara, puttaneca, and vodka sauces, cutting simmer time compared to crushed or diced tomatoes. Mexican kitchens can blend it with dried chiles and spices for enchilada sauce or use it to thicken birria consommé. Barbecue and smokehouse operations benefit from mixing it into mop sauces, baked bean bases, and Brunswick stew. For institutional menus, it simplifies batch production of tomato soup, goulash, and Spanish rice, where its thickness reduces the need for added starches or long cook-downs.

Preparation & Use

Stir the puree directly into hot pans, stockpots, or steam kettles; no pre-cooking is required. For pizza sauce, combine with olive oil, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and a pinch of sugar, then spread onto stretched dough without further cooking. For pasta sauce, sauté aromatics in oil, add the puree, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes to marry flavors. Refrigerate after opening and use within five to seven days, or portion and freeze for longer storage. Each 107-ounce can yields roughly thirteen 8-ounce servings of finished sauce, making it straightforward to scale recipes for case-level production.
