{"product_id":"perche-ci-credo-tomato-basil-pasta-sauce","title":"Perché Ci Credo Tomato \u0026 Basil Pasta Sauce","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA classic \u003cem\u003esugo al pomodoro e basilico\u003c\/em\u003e from Perché Ci Credo — the artisan producer in Lecce, in the heel of Puglia. The simplest sauce in the Italian repertoire, and the one most often gets done badly. Italian tomatoes (85%), softened in extra virgin olive oil with onion, finished with fresh basil and a touch of salt. Five ingredients, nothing else. No added sugar, no preservatives, no concentrate, no shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a sauce built on the quality of its tomatoes rather than on additions to disguise them. The 85% tomato content is unusually high — most jarred tomato-and-basil sauces sit between 60% and 70% with the rest of the volume taken up by water, oil, sugar, starches and stabilisers. The Salento is one of the great tomato-growing regions of Italy — sun-baked, low-rainfall, mineral-rich soil — and what comes through in the jar is the bright, sweet, deeply tomato-forward character of properly grown southern Italian fruit, lifted by the aromatic top note of fresh basil and rounded by gentle onion in good oil. The texture is loose and clean, the way a southern Italian \u003cem\u003esugo\u003c\/em\u003e should be — not the heavy, sweetened, almost ketchup-like consistency of supermarket pasta sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is the foundation jar — the everyday plate of pasta on a Tuesday night, the base of a quick \u003cem\u003espaghetti al pomodoro\u003c\/em\u003e, the sauce to start with when nothing else will do. Made the way it has always been made in the kitchens of southern Puglia, and proof that the simplest dish in Italian cooking is also the hardest to do well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perché Ci Credo, Lecce, Salento, Puglia, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTomato content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003engredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tomato 85% (Italy), onion, extra virgin olive oil, basil 2%, salt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo added:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugar, preservatives, colourings or additives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–4 with 350g of pasta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place.
