Strattu di Pomodoro · Tomatenextrakt

  Strattu, a term derived from the Italian word estratto, meaning “extract” or “concentrate,” is a traditional Sicilian specialty. It is made from sun-ripened tomatoes that are dried naturally and then processed into an intense paste. This elaborate process results in a triple-concentrated tomato extract that captures the essence of the Mediterranean sun and soil and preserves the distinctive flavor of Sicilian tomatoes.

With its thick consistency and strong aroma, Strattu is ideal for enhancing almost any tomato-based dish. Whether for sauces, stews, or soups, even a small amount is enough to add depth and intensity. Meat dishes, whether braised or roasted, also gain a particularly aromatic note from the addition of this concentrate, making them incomparable. Strattu is therefore not only a kitchen aid, but also a piece of Sicilian food culture. - Gerardo [TS10/26]
