While there’s nothing like biting into a fresh, homegrown tomato at the height of the season, the height of the season comes but once a year. Thankfully, there’s no need to settle for subpar when seeking sun-soaked tomato flavour—simply reach for a jar of TJ's Slow Roasted Tomatoes.
These Tomatoes come to TJ's from a fourth-generation tomato processor in Turkey. (Fun fact: Turkey is the third-largest tomato-producing country in the world!). They bring firm, vibrantly coloured, field-grown tomatoes into their solar-powered facility, where they Slow Roast them for eight hours. This process intensifies their inherently bright and tangy flavors and yields a tender, soft-dried texture that falls somewhere between a fresh Roma and a classic sun-dried tomato. Marinated in a combination of sunflower and extra virgin olive oils with a touch of garlic and oregano, the scarlet Slow Roasted Tomatoes boast an irresistible, umami-infused quality and sun-soaked tomato flavour that rival their fresh counterparts.
Ideal for topping salads and sandwiches or serving on a cheese board, you might even stir a few Slow Roasted Tomatoes into a bowl of Cottage Cheese with freshly ground black pepper for a quick snack.
