How our pickles are manufactured and why they are healthy
      Materials used in pickling are carefully selected, brought to the plant and pass quality control. Especially the short time that passes between harvesting, delivery at the plant and use in the manufacturing is a crucial factor behind the high quality of the products. Modern technologies are implemented in the manufacturing process, which complies with the requirements of hygiene. Each stage of the manufacturing process involves quality control, during which incompliant and low-quality products are dropped out.

Furthermore, storage of the products in hot temperatures leading to loss of quality during storage is prevented. The products ready for shipment are checked before the shipment, which ensures that consumers get reliable and high-quality products on their tables.

Because it is very difficult to satisfy these requirements when pickling at home, loss of quality occurs which shortens the storage period of the product.

What is a tomato paste?

What is brix in the tomato paste and why is it important?
 Brix is the quantity of solid material in a product with the value ranging between 5 and 6 in a tomato. Tomato paste with a brix value of 28-30 means that about 6 kg of tomatoes have been used to manufacture of 1 kg of tomato paste while tomato paste with a brix value of 20-22 means that about 4 kg of tomatoes have been used to manufacture 1 kg of tomato paste.

What are the most important factors determining the quality of a tomato paste?

 Viscosity and consistency are important criteria determining the quality of tomato products and primarily the tomato paste. Besides, color is another important determinant of the tomato paste quality. Carotenoids are responsible for the natural color of tomatoes. To obtain the desired color, quality raw materials and process conditions consistent with such raw materials should be used. The plenty of green tomatoes are used during manufacturing, the resulting color will be fairer.

Does tomato paste have benefits for health?

Raw material of the tomato paste is the tomato, which contains a substance known as lycopene. This substance is very good for health and strengthens the immunity system against a lot of diseases. The heat treatment implemented during processing the tomatoes into paste makes the substance even more distinctive.

Why is industrially manufactured paste better than home-made?

Home-made paste takes more tomatoes to produce 1 kg of the paste, increasing the costs. However, what is more important than the costs is the vacuum cooking implemented during the industrial manufacturing. Vacuum cooking prevents sudden increase of temperature during the process, raising the product’s quality. Fluctuations are the case during cooking the paste at home in open pots, which produces a low-quality product and leads to the formation of substances hazardous for health.
