pelati peeled tomatoes

The tomato is kept in its original state and is simply blanched. Mutti Stewed Tomatoes are meaty and consistent, covered in a creamy tomato sauce. Only the ripest tomatoes become stewed tomatoes so there are no yellow or green parts. The stewed tomatoes have about as much water as pulp and can be cooked at high temperatures, like in ovens, or cooked for long periods. They are also perfect for a few typically Italian sauces, like an amatriciana or bolognese sauce where the tomato has to be visible and well-defined.
