De Rica has been making tomato products for nearly 50 years from just-picked Italian tomatoes sourced exclusively from Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro, a cooperative of 370 farms that is the largest tomato processing group in Italy and third largest in Europe. De Rica selects only the finest tomatoes – the top 1% of the cooperative’s total output – based on flavor, color and aroma. The tomatoes are harvested at their peak goodness within 30 miles of the De Rica plant, where they are immediately processed using an all-natural, environmentally friendly, steam-peeling process that has been used in Italy for centuries. De Rica offers several favorite recipes on its website that showcase its products, including pasta e fagioli soup, which incorporates De Rica strained organic tomatoes; goulash with tomato sauce, with finely chopped organic tomatoes; and rice timballo with tomato, with De Rica finely chopped tomatoes. “De Rica tomato products have occupied a cherished place in Italy’s kitchens since 1963,” said Marco Petrini, Monini North America Inc. president. “Now America’s cooks can experience the difference De Rica tomato products make in their favorite recipes. De Rica has no equal for quality and wholesomeness.” Monini North America Inc., based in Shelton, Connecticut, is the exclusive importer and distributor of Monini Olive Oil, La Molisana Pasta and Pellini Espresso Coffee, all leading Italian specialty brands. |
