Can Passata be eaten without cooking?

What can I use instead of Passata?

The best alternative depends on the recipe. Mutti Passata is ideal for smooth, delicate sauces. For a chunkier texture, choose Mutti Polpa. Mutti Peeled Tomatoes are perfect for slow-cooked dishes, while Mutti Double Concentrated Tomato Purée adds extra richness and colour to sauces, ragùs and soups.

Is Passata the same as tomato purée?

No. Mutti Passata and Mutti Double Concentrated Tomato Purée are two different products. Passata is made from sieved tomatoes and is ready to use as a base for sauces and recipes. Tomato purée is much more concentrated, with a thicker texture and more intense flavour, so only a small amount is needed.

Is Passata gluten free?

Yes. Mutti Passata is naturally gluten free and contains only 100% Italian tomatoes and a pinch of salt.

What's the difference between Rustic Polpa and Passata?

The main difference is the texture. Mutti Passata is smooth and velvety, with no skins or seeds, making it ideal for silky sauces and quick recipes. Mutti Rustic Polpa contains pieces of tomato for a heartier texture, making it perfect for dishes such as ratatouille, peperonata and rustic pasta sauces.
