Authentic Italian pasta sauces made from pure tomatoes, di Marco!

We crossed just about all of Italy in search of the very best tomato passata, by Pit&Pit standards - and we ended up at Marco's.

In the region of Piacenza, Marco cultivates tomatoes on a limited area, with passionate enthusiasm, the very healthiest tomatoes in the open air - and he also processes them himself into tomato products such as passata and concentrato in a completely private facility.

Far away from the agro-industrial circuit that dominates almost the entire tomato sector.

Handy at home: ready-made pasta sauce porcini organic

From our Pit&Pit tomato paste we make pasta sauce Porcini. Ready-made, but just as healthy.

Porcini or porcini mushrooms impart a deep umami flavor and make for an aromatic Italian pasta sauce. Typically the sauce is made for maccheroni and rigatoni, but of course any pasta shape will do.

We use the typical green-grain extra virgin olive oil for fine flavor.

All ingredients from organic and biodynamic cultivation, without monoculture

All our tomato and pasta sauces are from organic cultivation, i.e. without the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Marco, however, goes a big step further. Throughout his production, he uses the principles of biodynamic agriculture: a holistic approach to farming. It induces spirituality in the process of growing food. In biodynamic farming, the main emphasis is on working the soil naturally, as the soil is essential to the quality of the product, not the farming itself.

No mono-culture, then: the products grown on the land of this farm are not only tomatoes, but also vegetables and grains.

Together with green manure crops, this makes for a tremendously effective seasonal crop rotation. The properties of the soil remain intact, ensuring stable quality without depletion.

In short: Marco insists on conducting only 1 tomato harvest cycle per year, with harvest as late as possible in the summer-at the rhythm of the seasons. From that harvest we make passata, concentrate and now pasta sauces.
