Castillo de Piñar ‘Sofrito’ … Traditional Spanish Flavor

Our first step is to pan-cook, on low heat, fresh (no reclamations or by-products are used) pieces from whole garlic and onions in our Extra Virgin Olive Oil with herbs & spices.  Next we add naturally grown red pear tomato puree.   Then our cooks allow the natural marriage of tomato acid with the sweet & pungent flavors of onion & garlic to produce a mellow, yet flavor-rich sauce.

Castillo de Piñar ‘Fritada’ … Spanish Heritage with a Mild Kick  

We begin with our ‘Sofrito’ as the foundation then add fresh pieces of whole mild green & red peppers to the pan and cook them with the garlic, onions, herbs, spices and our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  Next we add naturally grown red pear tomato puree.   As with our ‘Sofrito’, we allow the natural marriage of tomato acid with the sweet & pungent flavors of onion, garlic & mild peppers to produce a traditional Spanish flavor-rich sauce with a mild kick.

Castillo de Piñar all natural Tomate Sofrito Casero is a traditional Spanish NON GMO fry tomato suace cooked with a hint of onions and garlic. Our Tomate Sofrito is an extension and improvement of traditional tomato sauces, used as a base ingredient or enjoyed for its own flavor.

Tomate Sofrito is the most common tomato ingredient used in Spanish cuisine, other than fresh tomatoes. This Tomate Sofrito is distinct from most tomato sauces because the tomatoes have been sautéed in a frying pan with Castillo de Piñar Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
