Roma tomato ⚖
510273
The ultimate fleshy tomato for creamy sauces and flavourful Mediterranean dishes.
Product description:
The Roma tomato, recognisable by its elongated shape and deep red colour, is an essential variety for catering professionals. Its distinctive features include firm flesh, low water content and few seeds, giving it a dense texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavour. Delas has selected this ‘elongated' tomato for its versatility in the kitchen and excellent yield during processing. Available to order by the kilo from our Fruit & Vegetables, it guarantees consistent quality for all your culinary bases.
Culinary uses, preparation and storage:
The Roma tomato is the gold standard for slow cooking, but is also suitable for cold dishes:
► Sauces and Coulis: Its high pulp content makes it the ideal choice for marinara sauces, pizza bases or homemade ketchups. It reduces quickly without releasing too much water.
► Dried or confit tomatoes: Its texture during cooking is perfect for slow drying in the oven with olive oil and herbes de Provence.
► Salads and gazpachos: When eaten raw, it adds crunch to mixed salads or a velvety texture to cold soups.
► Preparation: Easy to peel after a brief blanching (parboiling), its thin skin comes away without damaging the flesh.
► Storage: To preserve all its aromatic qualities, store at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid the fridge, which neutralises its aromas and alters its texture, unless the fruit is very ripe and intended for immediate use.
