Tomatoes

- Sauce, Puree, Paste, Sundried, Whole, Diced, ...

  
Conventional Tomato, and therefore tomato sauce, is one of the foods with the highest levels of pesticides or a concentration of some of the most dangerous pesticides and is therefore one we should eat organic only.  This is especially true since tomato sauce tops a kid's favorite - pasta.

  25 oz.
  Prepared from tomatoes grown using Biodynamic methods in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy. Matteo Gazzola’s farm is located on an historic manor property in the heart of the Po river valley.

After sealing, the bottles are warmed to Pasteurization temperature, but not cooked. This method produces the freshest possible tasting passata. Use as a base for pasta sauce, soup, or any recipe calling for pureed tomatoes. No salt added. Biodynamic® methods were developed in the 1920s to bring agriculture into harmony with nature. Special composting and homeopathic sprays are used to promote healthy soil, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
