How to Use
Squeeze the amount you need directly from the tube into soups, sauces, stews, or braises; there is no need to sauté it separately first. Use one to two tablespoons to add tomato depth to bolognese, amatriciana, shakshuka, or beef stew. Close the cap tightly and refrigerate the tube after opening; it keeps for several weeks once resealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tomato paste contain allergens?
Mutti Double Concentrated Tomato Paste is labeled vegan and gluten-free, with tomatoes as the primary ingredient. It does not list common allergens such as milk, egg, soy, or nuts on the tube. Facility handling notices can still change between production runs, so read the printed tube before use if you have a specific sensitivity.
How should I store the tube after opening?
Close the cap tightly after each use and refrigerate the tube; it does not need to be transferred to another container the way an open can does. Stored this way, an opened tube generally keeps for several weeks. Always check for any change in color, smell, or texture before use, and read the tube for the manufacturer's exact storage guidance.
What is the advantage of a tube over a can of tomato paste?
A tube lets you squeeze out exactly the amount a recipe calls for and reseal the rest for later, while a can generally needs to be used up once opened or transferred to another container. This double concentrated paste also delivers more tomato flavor per tablespoon than a standard single-concentrated paste, per the label.
Is Mutti tomato paste imported from Italy?
Yes. Mutti grows and processes its tomatoes in Parma, Italy, and this paste is imported from there rather than made domestically. Real Prime Deals ships it from our New Jersey warehouse to customers in the US and Canada, so you receive the same product sold in Italy.
