Roasted Garlic & Tomato is a slow-cooked tomato sauce built on San Marzano tomatoes, with Roma tomatoes added for acidity. The garlic goes in two ways — some roasted first for a mellow, rounded sweetness, some fresh and minced for bite. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil does the cooking.

Lab tests confirm no added sugar and no trans fat, and it carries more fibre than the other two sauces in the range. Nothing on the ingredient list is a preservative, colour or flavouring. It comes in a glass jar and suits pasta, pizza bases and baked eggs.

Why We Like It

  • The garlic goes in two ways — roasted for sweetness, fresh and minced for bite — never as a powder.
  • San Marzano leads the tomatoes, with Roma added for acidity because San Marzano alone runs sweet.
  • Nothing on the ingredient list is a preservative, colour or thickener — every line on it is a food.
  • Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil does the cooking, not a cheaper refined or blended oil.
  • The lab results back up the label: no added sugar, no trans fat.
Ingredients

San Marzano tomatoes

The base

Whole peeled, packed in their own juice. The majority of what is in the jar.

Roma tomatoes

For acidity

Whole peeled. Added because San Marzano on its own is too sweet to carry the sauce.

Tomato paste

For body

Concentrated tomato and nothing else. It thickens the sauce, so no starch or gum has to.

Extra virgin olive oil

Cold pressed

The cooking fat, rather than a cheaper refined or blended oil.

Garlic

Roasted and fresh

Some roasted first for mellow sweetness, some minced fresh for bite. Never a powder or a flavouring.

Salt

For seasoning

Seasoning only. Nothing in the jar is doing preservative work.

Black pepper

Ground

Seasoning. Ground pepper, not an extract or an oleoresin.

Lemon juice

For balance

Real juice, used to adjust acidity rather than an acidity regulator.

Water

For consistency

Brings the sauce to the right thickness as it cooks down.

What to look for in Pasta Sauce?
01

Tomato should lead the ingredient list. If water or paste comes first, the sauce has been built back up rather than cooked down.

02

Added sugar is common in jarred sauce to cover acidity. A sauce made from good tomatoes does not need it.

03

Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are the usual preservatives. Properly processed and sealed sauce can do without them.

04

Herbs and aromatics should appear by name. 'Nature-identical flavouring' is there to make up for weaker tomato.
