Tomato paste is a thick paste made from ripened tomatoes
with skin and seeds removed. Depending on its manufacturing
conditions, it can be used to make either ketchup or
reconstituted tomato juice. Its most common culinary usage
is as a pizza sauce base, but it is also used in small
quantities to enrich the flavour of sauces, particularly
tomato sauce. It is most commonly available in tin cans and
squeeze tubes.
The tomato paste we can offer includes two kinds:
1.
Hot break: heated to about 100°C; pectin is preserved ->
thicker -> ketchup.
2.
Cold break: heated to about 66°C; colour and flavour is
preserved -> juice. (Note: brix 36/38 are all cold break)
