This is the Saclà Whole Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce Arrabbiata. It consisted of a traditional soffrito base of diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, carrots, garlic and celery, combined with whole cherry tomatoes (12.5%) and chilli pepper powder (0.5%)
When mixed through pasta, the sauce revealed an aromatic and thick texture, offering a full-bodied savoury flavour with the rich presence of tomato complemented by a delightful sweetness from the cooked-down vegetables. Each jar contained six whole cherry tomatoes, each resembling semi-dried tomatoes in tangy intensity and texture, imparting an intense sweet tomato flavour to the sauce. The chilli pepper added an unapologetic yet enjoyable level of lingering heat, enhancing the overall flavour profile with its spicy kick.
From the first taste, it was evident that this was a high-quality product worthy of its more premium pricing.
