In the PROMO Food Service magazine of August and September, you will find the best selection of ingredients for the menu of lunch offers. We asked Sanitex employees to participate in a blind test to select the best Ristoris canned tomatoes. A total of 26 people participated in the blind test, and with their help we found out what appeals to them most about tomatoes.

We tested the two most important indicators:

• taste and aroma

• texture and consistency

We set up a typical blind test situation, where only a number was placed in the bowl, the meaning of which was known only to the organizer of the blind test, and we asked to objectively preserve the results of our treatment and evaluate what was fed based on specific criteria. Five products were selected for the blind test this time:

• No. 1 C056390 - RISTORIS tomatoes Detterini, red, peeled 770g.

Sweet and juicy red peeled tomatoes in oil and fresh basil sauce. The delicate and juicy texture goes especially well with fish dishes.

• No. 2 X404240 - RISTORIS semi-sun-dried red tomatoes in oil 750/450g.

Bright red halved cherry tomatoes from southern Italy, semi-dried in the oven and seasoned with herbs and olive oil.

• No. 3 C056391 – RISTORIS tomatoes Detterini, yellow, peeled 770g.

Sweet and juicy yellow peeled tomatoes in oil and fresh basil sauce. The delicate and juicy texture goes especially well with fish dishes.

• No. 4 C021898 - RISTORIS semi-dried yellow cherry tomatoes 750/450g.

Yellow half cherry tomatoes that are semi-dried in the oven and seasoned with herbs. The sweet and delicate taste goes perfectly with fish and seafood dishes.

• No. 5 C021897 - RISTORIS semi-dried red tomatoes 750/450g.

Semi-dried red tomatoes, in which juiciness and tomato pulp have been preserved. Suitable for appetizers or as a side dish for the main course. To be enjoyed both hot and cold.

According to 26 people, the results are:

1. The winner of the blind test is product no. 5, i.e. RISTORIS freeze-dried red tomatoes 750/450g.

The average rating for taste and aroma was 4.61 and the rating for texture and consistency was 3.89. Thus, the average rating of the product was 4.25
