Our sun-dried and semi-dried (slow roasted) tomatoes come from the Aegean region of Western Turkey. It’s without doubt the most ideal place to harvest and process the very finest dried tomatoes.
Over the past 20 years we’ve established relationships with our reliable, experienced and competitive partner who uses both traditional + the most modern processing methods.
varieties
Roma Red Star Tomato //
We love it’s organoleptic properties — taste, appearance, texture and aroma. It’s famed for it’s vibrant colour that holds after cooking. The pear shape and thick fruit wall with dense flesh and few seeds make it a fine tomato to roast.
—
Cherry Tomato //
These petite, beautifully sweet, intense tomatoes have few seeds and make for the most delicious semi dried tomatoes.
method
SEMI DRIED (oven roasted) //
Perfectly ripe tomatoes are cut and slow roasted in medium heat in the latest hi-tech vector ovens. The sweet juicy flavour is preserved by immediately freezing in readiness to supply in bulk or marinated in oil + herbs.
—
SUN DRIED //
Quite possibly our favourite process, the tomatoes are cut by hand in half, sprinkled in salt + laid under the sun for a week.
