Additional Information

Tomato purée is a preserve made from fresh tomatoes that are peeled and seeded, resulting in a smooth and uniform cream without chunks. It represents the purest form of tomato, sometimes enriched only with a pinch of salt. Unlike sauce, which is pre-cooked and seasoned, purée serves as a versatile base, allowing the cook to craft their own recipe by adding preferred ingredients or using it in dishes requiring pure tomato.

Characteristics of the Purée

• Preparation: Made by blanching fresh tomatoes and pressing them to remove skin and seeds.
• Composition: Composed solely of tomatoes, sometimes with a pinch of salt, representing the purest and most versatile form of tomato.
• Texture: Smooth and uniform, a dense and fluid cream, but not liquid.
• Usage: Serves as a base for many recipes, allowing the cook to add ingredients like garlic, onion, oil, herbs, and spices to create a personalized seasoning.

Difference Between Purée and Tomato Sauce

• Purée: A raw (or minimally processed) tomato base without additional ingredients, requiring cooking based on the recipe's needs.
• Sauce: A ready-made condiment derived from purée, cooked for a long time and enriched with spices, aromas, oil, and other ingredients.
