Made from 100% ripe, non-GMO Italian tomatoes, harvested at peak season from July to early October, La Fiammante Passata preserves the true essence of Italy. Thanks to the filiera corta (short supply chain) model, the tomatoes are processed within just a few hours after harvesting to retain their exceptional freshness, natural aroma, and full nutritional value.
La Fiammante employs a minimal heat-treatment and sterilization process—only half as intense as that used by most conventional brands. This gentle method safeguards the tomatoes’ vibrant flavor, fresh character, and delicate floral notes, delivering an authentic taste experience.
Unlike many producers who use concentrated tomatoes stored in silos for months before reprocessing and bottling, La Fiammante cans only freshly harvested tomatoes. This ensures the product maintains its original texture, taste, and integrity—never diluted or compromised.
What truly sets La Fiammante apart is its strong commitment to sustainable and ethical farming. By working directly with farmers, the brand guarantees fair pricing and supports organic practices, water conservation, and a significant reduction in pesticide use—up to 70% below the legal limits. The result is a clean, natural product that’s as good for your health as it is for the environment.
