What Is Canned Tomato Paste?
Tomato paste in a can is a type of concentrated tomato product that has been thoroughly cooked, strained, and processed to separate the seeds and skins from the pulp of the tomato. The tomato paste is produced through a slow evaporation or reduction process and has a very thick consistency and strong flavor after being processed into a finished product. The paste is placed into cans after processing to keep it fresh for an extended period of time without the use of a refrigerator to store it.
Tianjin Bliss Foods Co., Ltd., utilizes only the ripest tomatoes, which are selected based on their natural bright red color and full flavor, for its tomato paste products. All of our canning processes are subject to stringent quality control measures, thus providing customers with consistently flavorful products throughout the entire year.
