Tomato Concentrate 360g

A rich, smooth tomato concentrate made with 100% sun-ripened Hungarian tomatoes: a naturally sweet, pure pantry staple for sauces, soups, pizza and stews.

What Is Tomato Concentrate?

Tomato concentrate, also known as tomato paste, is made by slowly cooking ripe tomatoes until their flavour becomes fuller, sweeter and more intense. The seeds and skins are removed for a smooth texture and rich ruby-red colour.

This Aranyfácán tomato concentrate is made with 100% tomatoes and nothing unnecessary: no added salt, sugar, preservatives or artificial flavours. With 15–17% tomato solids, also expressed as 15–17° Brix, it has a balanced concentration that brings depth to everyday cooking without overpowering other ingredients.

Supplied in a generous 360g resealable glass jar, it is a practical pure tomato paste for anyone who cooks sauces, soups and stews regularly. Take out only what you need, then refrigerate the remaining concentrate for another meal.

How to Use Tomato Concentrate

A spoonful of tomato concentrate is one of the simplest ways to give a dish deeper, more rounded tomato flavour. Its smooth, balanced character makes it especially useful when you want richness without reaching for a ready-made sauce. Try it in:

• rich pasta sauces, lasagne and homemade pizza sauces
• smooth tomato soup and hearty vegetable soups
• warming chilli, curries, casseroles and slow-cooked stews
• onion and garlic bases where it adds colour, sweetness and savoury depth
• quick sauces diluted with stock or water for a fuller tomato flavour
• simple marinades mixed with olive oil, herbs, garlic and a splash of vinegar

A Simple Cooking Tip

For the best flavour, cook the tomato concentrate gently with onion, garlic, oil or butter for a minute or two before adding liquid. This allows its natural sweetness and savoury tomato character to develop, creating a richer base for sauces and stews.

For a quick family supper, dilute it for a simple tomato soup and serve with our alphabet pasta. It is also excellent alongside Hungarian paprika in goulash-style stews, paprikash-style sauces and other warming dishes.

Where Does It Come From?

Aranyfácán, meaning “Golden Pheasant”, is one of Hungary’s best-known tomato brands. Made in Hatvan since 1934, it has been a familiar part of Hungarian home cooking for generations.

Monika selected Aranyfácán for Best of Hungary for a personal reason. Her mother used it in family meals, and Monika continued to cook with it in Hungary as an adult. She knows the difference a good tomato concentrate makes: better colour, fuller flavour and a more rounded finish in the dishes she prepares.

In Hungary, tomato paste is known as sűrített paradicsom. This is a classic example: simple, dependable and made for proper everyday cooking.

For a thicker, more intense tomato flavour from a smaller spoonful, choose our double concentrated tomato purée, with 22–24% tomato solids. Discover both in our tomato concentrate collection.
