Quarto dei Greci peeled tomatoes

San Marzano tomatoes are the ideal variety for making peeled tomatoes thanks to their firm pulp characterised by only few seeds and not much water. Only basil, salt and extra virgin olive oil are added to the peeled tomatoes. The main difficulty in the production is peeling the tomatoes since it requires great care in order not to damage the tomato before putting it in the jar. To make this easier the tomatoes are cooked quickly in boiling water and then the skin is removed. Peeled tomatoes are excellent for cooking vegetables, pizzas and also as a topping for bruschettas.
