Description
The Carbone Tomato Absolute
L'Tomato Absolute It is the result of three artisanal processes: pressing, semi-drying and slow cooking, which enhance the natural aroma of the tomato.
The ingredients
It is enriched with a drizzle of EVO oil, fresh basil and a pinch of garlic: an intense and fragrant cream, ideal both raw and cooked.
How to use tomato absolute
Perfect as a base for bruschetta and crostini, to season a quick pasta dish with a drizzle of raw olive oil, or as a connecting element in more elaborate preparations where a concentration of authentic flavor is needed.
Storage after opening
Once opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within 4-5 days. The triple process—pressing, semi-drying, and slow cooking—concentrates the tomatoes' natural sugars, reducing the need to adjust acidity with salt or added sugar.
Three processes in one
Pressing, semi-drying, and slow cooking are three techniques normally used separately in tomato processing: here, they are combined in sequence on the same fruit, a more laborious process than common purees or preserves, designed to obtain an extraordinary concentration of flavor.
The Sele Plain
Much of the raw materials Carbone processes come from the Sele Plain, in the province of Salerno: an area considered among the most fertile and suitable in Italy for growing vegetables and tomatoes, thanks to its mild climate, proximity to the sea, and rich alluvial soils. These conditions allow for consistent harvests of high quality and regular ripening throughout the season.
The artisanal workmanship
The vegetables and greens processed by Carbone follow traditional preparation methods, often based on recipes from Campanian peasant cuisine: slow cooking, seasoning with simple ingredients like oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs, and preserving in jars without the use of additional preservatives. This method prioritizes the authentic flavor of the raw ingredients over industrial standardization.
From the home table to the restaurant
Products designed for both everyday family use and professional catering, where short preparation times and consistent quality are essential: ready-to-use, they can be served as is or as a base for more elaborate preparations.
Seasonality and harvest
Many of the vegetables Carbone processes follow a seasonal harvest schedule, which determines their availability and quality throughout the year. Working seasonally often means sacrificing consistent year-round availability, while maintaining a higher quality of raw materials than forced or imported crops grown out of season.
A ready-to-use product
Processing and preserving them in jars allows you to always have a ready-made ingredient on hand in the pantry, without having to deal with the cleaning, cooking, and seasoning times required for fresh produce: a practical advantage that doesn't compromise flavor, thanks to a process designed to preserve the vegetable's original characteristics.
Without waste
Preserving vegetables in oil or jars reduces waste associated with the perishability of fresh vegetables, preserving the organoleptic characteristics of the product, harvested at the perfect ripening point, for a long time, ready to be consumed even months after harvest.
A versatile product at the table
Whether served as an appetizer, side dish, or ingredient to enhance a first course, this product is suitable for a variety of occasions: from a quick everyday meal to a more refined aperitif with guests, without requiring additional preparation time compared to what is already prepared in the jar.
A detail that makes the difference
Even seemingly simple products hide precise choices made during the production process: cooking time, temperature, and the amount of seasoning added. Small details that, when added together, make the difference between an ordinary product and one carefully crafted down to the last step.
