Dried tomato flakes

Tomato flakes are dried, graded tomatoes in thin, light flakes that melt easily in cooking. They offer the sweet, ripe, and slightly caramelized taste of tomato without peeling, chopping, or waiting time. Ideal for soups, broths, sauces, marinades, and any recipe that needs instant, concentrated tomato intensity.

The ingredient we use

We use high-quality tomatoes, naturally dried and cut into thin flakes 2–6 mm. No additives, colorings, or flavor enhancers. The color is intense red to deep orange, characteristic of natural drying. The flakes are light, crumbly, and dissolve instantly in water or oil.

Botanical identity

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae) is cultivated worldwide and is a basic ingredient in Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian cuisine. Tomato drying is a traditional technique used for centuries to preserve its flavor and nutritional value.

Aroma, color, and taste

• Aroma: sweet, ripe, with a slight caramelized note.

• Taste: concentrated, sweet, slightly acidic — like a ripe tomato at the end of summer.

• Color: intense red, orange, or brick red, depending on the batch.

The flakes melt easily, leaving a vibrant tomato flavor in every dish.

• In tomato sauces, pasta, and pizzas for a deeper profile.
