Colavita’s Double-Concentrated Tomato Paste is a versatile kitchen staple for those looking to deepen the flavor of their dishes. While many tomato pastes exist, this product stands out due to its unique processing and resulting flavor profile.
Why Choose Colavita?
This paste isn’t just another ingredient; it’s cooked twice, resulting in a darker, richer, and more umami-packed product compared to standard options. The smooth texture blends seamlessly into sauces and soups, eliminating gritty residue. The squeezable metal tube further simplifies storage and dispensing.
Beyond Traditional Tomato Dishes
Colavita’s flavor isn’t limited to Italian cuisine. Its sweetness and depth add complexity to dishes beyond the typical marinara or chili. The paste enhances roasted vegetables, providing a caramelized, savory finish. Simply mix with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at 400°F. Root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, as well as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli all benefit from this simple technique.
Where to Buy
Colavita Double-Concentrated Tomato Paste is available for purchase at Instacart for $4.19 per 4.5-ounce tube.
This is more than just tomato paste; it’s a shortcut to richer, deeper flavor in almost any dish. Its versatility makes it a pantry essential for both beginner and experienced cooks.
