This sauce gives a traditional flavour of Greece with the tomato and the ethnic cheese which we all enjoy when in a Greek salad, now we can enjoy the combination with this sensational sauce. Tomato sauce originated from the need to preserve excess crop in a time when there were no refrigerators. The tomatoes were being boiled and by adding olive oil as a natural preservative, they could be preserved for a longer period of time. Today it has been scientifically proven that lycopene -one of the antioxidants contained in tomato - can be found in a much higher concentration when the tomato is cooked. Tomato came to Greece in the 19th century and since then, all mediterranean countries have quickly integrated it, and made it synonymous to the mediterranean diet. Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K.Enjoy with: • Saganaki (a traditional Greek dish with feta and prawns) • Beans • A pizza topping • Pasta • Omelette • On bread • Bruschetta However you use it, we hope you enjoy it!
