[ALCE NERO] Organic Chunky Tomato Puree Basil (500g)

Sun-Ripened Italian Tomatoes | Fragrant Organic Basil | Rustic "Polpa" Texture

Experience the true taste of an Italian summer with Alce Nero Organic Chunky Tomato Puree with Basil. Harvested at the peak of ripeness from organic farms in Italy, these tomatoes are processed within hours to lock in their natural sweetness and vibrant color. Unlike ultra-smooth purees, this "chunky" version (Polpa) retains bits of the tomato flesh, providing a rustic, homemade texture that clings perfectly to your favorite pasta. With the addition of fresh, aromatic basil, it serves as a ready-to-use foundation for the busy Singaporean home cook who values high-quality, authentic ingredients.

Our "Clean Label" commitment ensures that your sauce is as pure as it gets. This puree is Certified Organic and contains Zero Added Sugars, artificial thickeners, or chemical preservatives. By relying on the natural acidity of the tomatoes and a gentle pasteurization process, Alce Nero delivers a "farm-to-table" experience that respects your digestive health and your desire for a transparent, non-GMO food source.

The Science of Lycopene and Heart Health

The nutritional powerhouse within Alce Nero Tomato Puree is Lycopene, a potent antioxidant responsible for the tomato's deep red hue. Scientifically, lycopene is more easily absorbed by the human body when tomatoes are crushed and lightly heated, as they are during the pureeing process. This compound is well-studied for its role in supporting cardiovascular health and protecting skin against UV-induced oxidative stress—a vital benefit in Singapore’s sunny climate. Furthermore, the inclusion of organic basil provides a source of Essential Oils like Eugenol, which offers natural anti-inflammatory properties and aids in comfortable digestion.
