Contadina Extra Thick & Zesty Tomato Sauce, 15 oz Cans (Pack of 12) — Extra-Thick Roma Tomato Puree, No Preservatives

Made from 100% Roma-style tomatoes and seasoned with natural sea salt, this extra-thick tomato sauce delivers concentrated tomato flavor without preservatives. Each 15 oz can is crafted to blend easily into recipes or stand alone as a base for homemade sauces. Contadina emphasizes quality by using vine-ripened tomatoes picked for consistent sweetness and cooked down to a lush, dense consistency that boosts both taste and mouthfeel.

Why choose this extra-thick tomato sauce for home cooking?

This sauce gives a richer, less watery base than regular tomato sauce, which makes it ideal when you need body and flavor without reducing a liquid sauce for a long time. It pairs well with other tomato products, stocks, or wine when adjusting texture and intensity.

• Concentrated Roma tomatoes for deeper tomato flavor and color
• Seasoned with natural sea salt—no artificial preservatives
• Extra-thick texture reduces need for extended simmering
• Non-BPA can lining for safer canned storage

How can I use this sauce to improve weeknight meals?

The thick puree is handy for quick sauces, heartier soups, and one-pot meals where you want immediate body and flavor. Stir into pasta with olive oil and garlic, fold into chili, or spread a thin layer on pizza dough before adding toppings.

• Mix with pasta water for a fast, clinging sauce
• Blend into stews and chilis to deepen tomato notes
• Use as a concentrated base—dilute with broth, wine, or water for desired consistency
• Enhance roasted vegetables or braises by adding during cooking

What should I know about ingredients, quality, and storage?

Ingredients are simple: primarily Roma-style tomatoes and natural sea salt, cooked down to an extra-thick consistency. Contadina cans are sealed to protect freshness; once opened, transfer leftovers to a non-metal, airtight container and refrigerate for best quality.

• Made from 100% Roma-style tomatoes—no preservatives listed
• Seasoned with natural sea salt for balanced flavor
• Non-BPA can lining reduces contact with metal surfaces

How does this product fit into a recipe workflow or pantry setup?

The 15 oz size is portion-friendly for many recipes, and the pack of 12 keeps a steady supply for meal planning or bulk cooking. Because the sauce is extra-thick, you can control texture—add small amounts to intensify dishes or thin it for sauces and soups.

• Combines well with oils, herbs, cheeses, and proteins for diverse dishes
