Estratto di Pomodoro is a concentrated tomato paste or as Sicilians refer to as "strattu". A great estratto requires an intense summer heat and extreme patience, because the pulp of the tomatoes must be stirred for hours by hand to evaporate all of the liquids. The island of Sicily offers up plenty of hot summer heat and Tudia adds extreme patience and tradition to the whole process. This thick paste has a deep, burgundy color and the flavor is sweet and intense yet open. A little bit goes a long way!

"I absolutely love this tomato paste, it’s nothing like what you think of when you think of tomato paste, this is beyond amazing! It’s thick, full of concentrated flavor and makes everything better! I had Sicilian tomato paste from a market and this is the closest that I’ve found to match the consistency and flavor. You won’t be disappointed!"
"It was the first time I used this Concentrato. It taste real and I strongly recommend it."
"Loved this estratto and the depth it added to our pasta dish! 10 out of 10!! I’m Ordering 5 more jars!!!"
"Senza dubbio the best strattu I've ever used. I use it in cucina siciliana and not only. It added great depth of flavor to my coq au vin, too."
"Absolutely amazing flavor and quality. The only tomato concentrate I will use going forward. Helps make any dish soecial"
"Best estratto I’ve had. Easy to work with. Melds nicely. DELICIOUS 🤤"
"I make my sauces from scratch and rarely need to add estratto. There was something about this one that made me wanna try it and I’m so glad I did! It’s exquisite. I didn’t use it for the sauce but spread it over a hearty buttered toast Marmite-style, to go with an English-style breakfast, sunny side up & lamb sausage. Outstanding over toast, truly. Had to repeat the same toast the next day, added a silky organic feta — perfection!"
"This stuff is dynamite to cook with. I felt like my bolognese was missing its flare even with good fresh crushed san marzanos simmer down. This time I seared some spoons of this on the hot pan before adding the meat and tomatoes and it really brought color to the sauce. I appreciated this was flavor packed and not salty as I don’t try and add much salt to my dishes and let the flavors merry naturally."
"Once you start using this, you can’t go back to the regular tomato paste - it’s so rich and bold. It’s a perfect present (for yourself and others), I’ve bought this multiple times"
"Excellent quality bursting with flavor and is such a Sicilian specialty. It brought me back to when we would get some sent homemade from Sicily . Authentic and really flavorful. Very pleased and will keep on buying this product and recommending it ."
