What it is
Pizza sauce tomatoes are typically made from a variety of tomatoes, often paste tomatoes like Roma, which are bred for their thick flesh and low water content. The tomatoes are usually cooked, pureed, and seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onion, herbs (such as basil and oregano), and salt to create a sauce base for pizza.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use pizza sauce tomatoes as a flavorful base for pizzas and other Italian-inspired dishes. They provide a tangy, slightly sweet tomato flavor and moisture, acting as a key component in the overall taste profile of the final product.
