This shelf‑stable tomato paste is crafted to deliver intense, natural tomato flavor without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Non‑GMO ingredients are used and each can contains a thick, tangy paste that forms the foundation for sauces, stews, soups, pizzas and braises. The 12‑can pack is designed for home cooks who prepare Italian and Mediterranean dishes frequently, as well as for families, meal preppers, and small foodservice operations looking for consistent quality in a pantry‑ready format.

How does Contadina Tomato Paste improve everyday sauces and recipes?

Tomato paste adds concentrated tomato flavor, body and color to recipes without watering them down. A spoonful or two can transform a quick marinara into a richer, deeper sauce or thicken soups and stews while contributing balanced acidity and sweetness.

• Use 1–2 tablespoons per cup of liquid for thicker sauces.
• Add early in cooking to deepen flavor through caramelization.
• Stir into sautés to build a robust base for soups and stews.
• Mix with olive oil and herbs for a quick pizza sauce.

What makes this 18 oz can convenient for home and professional kitchens?

The 18 oz size strikes a balance between bulk and everyday usability: large enough to reduce frequent repurchase, yet manageable for single recipes or weekly meal planning. Cans store easily on pantry shelves, have a long shelf life unopened, and the pack of 12 helps families or small kitchens maintain steady supply.

• Packed 12 cans per order for less frequent restocking.
• Non‑BPA** can lining supports pantry storage safety.
• Wide can opening makes scooping or measuring simple.
• Consistent texture and flavor across cans for repeatable results.

How should I use and store Contadina Tomato Paste for best results?

Use tomato paste to concentrate tomato flavor in sauces, casseroles, meatloaf, marinades and dips. Once opened, transfer unused paste to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze in measured portions for longer storage.

• Sear paste briefly with oil to unlock sweeter notes before adding liquids.
• Portion leftover paste into ice cube trays for single‑use frozen cubes.
• Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry away from heat sources.
• Label date on opened containers to track freshness.
