Canned Tomato Paste Chalkis/COFCO
Tomato paste is a thick paste that is made by cooking tomatoes for several hours to reduce moisture, straining them to remove the seeds and skin, and cooking them again to reduce them to a thick, rich concentrate.
Depending on its manufacturing conditions, tomato paste can be the basis for making ketchup or reconstituted tomato juice.
