DRIED TOMATOES
use and consumption
curiosity
Sun-dried tomatoes are cut in half, sometimes deseeded (not in the case of our products), sprinkled with salt, and left to dry for a whole day in the sun (but not in direct sunlight).
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO DRY TOMATOES??
THE PORTION
SOAKING IN WATER
TOMATO PESTO
Sun-dried tomatoes should be soaked in water for 20/30 minutes to remove the salt that is used for their preservation. We also recommend waiting before adding more salt because the existing one remains in the product.
The standard portion per person varies depending on the intended use. We recommend about 50 grams of sundried tomatoes per person, the portion is less compared to the fresh product, as the flavor is richer and more persistent
Sure, dried tomatoes will make your pesto very tasty. It will be a quick dressing to prepare and excellent for your first courses.
FREEZING
HOW TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY
Yes, it is possible to freeze them after immersing them in water (to remove the naturally present salt). They should be well dried and then frozen on a shelf so that they remain flat and well separated.
THE PRESERVATION
We recommend to anyone who wants to maintain the consistency of dried tomatoes to reduce the soaking times in water, but be sure to rinse them well with running water.
Sundried tomatoes are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause them to darken due to oxidation, making them less appetizing. Alternatively, they can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
RECIPES AND TIPS
THE ORIGIN
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES IN OIL
Our customers not only use it for sauces, dressings, condiments, and pesto, but they often put them in olive oil. They can also be used for bruschetta, added to your salads, or for legumes and cereals. They are also frequently used to enrich bread dough, pizza, savory cakes, etc.
Italy and specifically the magnificent Puglia.
Yes, but I recommend following the recipe meticulously (available online or using grandma's recipe) and being very meticulous with each step to avoid the formation of botulism.
