Passata – Stekovics Grandma's Tomatoes

Stekovics passata consists of hand-cleaned, chopped, raw pureed tomatoes. A colorful mix from the Stekovics family's large tomato assortment, providing a unique, pure taste – without salt, sugar, or spices, yet intensely aromatic, just like Grandma's tomatoes. Stekovics passata is a perfect base for a good tomato sauce or soup, and enhances ratatouille or goulash.

Stekovics Passata – From the Emperor of Tomatoes

Erich Stekovics is the Emperor of Tomatoes. By Lake Neusiedl in Austria, he plants and cultivates countless old, almost forgotten varieties of tomatoes, peppers, chilies, garlic, and cucumbers, and transforms them into delicious preserves, like this passata. This charismatic farmer is on a quest for lost flavors. In his "paradise," he safeguards over 4000 tomato varieties and now well over 200 chili varieties.

What Erich Stekovics plants has flavor. And he is particularly fond of the old varieties of tomato and chili plants. No one can pull the wool over his eyes when it comes to that. Among his personal favorite chili varieties is Gänseschnabel, which he preserves in the finest Beerenauslese vinegar.
