KONTOS – tomato sauce with olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes 580 g
This is the kind of sauce that makes dinner effortless: you open the jar, heat it up, and you have a ready-made Greek-style base. KONTOS tomato sauce is made from peeled fresh tomatoes, with the addition of olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs (basil, parsley) and onion complete the flavor. Simple ingredients, distinct tomato flavor, and a pleasant depth – perfect for a quick pasta, pizza, or pan-fried vegetables.
Taste and consistency
Thick, tomato-rich, with an herbal background and a slightly "meatier" finish thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes. It's a sauce that clings well to pasta and works great as a base for hot dishes.
