Polpa Rustica

CHOPPED TOMATOES

Mutti Polpa Rustica chopped tomatoes in a 700g glass bottle

Generously Rustic, Naturally Authentic

Made with only 100% Italian tomatoes and nothing else, harvested in summer at the peak of their ripeness and processed within hours, Mutti Polpa Rustica preserves all the flavour and aroma of freshly picked tomatoes.

Its juicy consistency helps delivering an intense tomato character. All of this makes it especially delicious in vegetable-based recipes, from ratatouille to peperonata, a traditional Italian dish made with bell peppers, onions and tomatoes, cooked slowly until they become soft and develop a unique flavour.
