TOKYO, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Italian and European Red Gold canned tomatoes – thanks to their guaranteed high quality and versatility in the kitchen – are a staple in the supermarket sector, including the Japanese one.


The processing of Red Gold Tomatoes from Europe starts with the selection of the best quality tomato fruits: fully ripe, bursting with juice, with a good quality of cellulose and without any rot or tears. Then, the selected tomatoes are washed and brought to a high temperature to separate the skin from the flesh.

Next, the peeled tomatoes are screened for damaged fruit, stems or traces of skin using an optical sorter. At this point in the production line, tin cans are filled with the whole peeled tomatoes and their juice, and vacuum-sealed to preserve their freshness and flavour. The next phase in the operation is sterilisation, which eliminates any micro-organisms that could alter the product. 

Red Gold from Europe tomatoes are available in whatever form you want: whole peeled tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, diced tomatoes and tomato passata. In any form, these canned tomatoes are a key ingredient for dishes rich in creativity and tempting aromas. The variety of possible combinations is virtually endless. Apart from the simple (but incomparable) tomato sauce for a tasty pasta dish or to top a pizza, Red Gold from Europe tomatoes can be used with meat, fish, eggs and cheese, and even for dessert. Just let your creativity in the kitchen reign!
