FAQ

In fact, almost any dish, even desserts and cocktails! How come? TOMAMI gives dishes an intensive, full-flavoured aroma, yet remains in the background taste-wise. The tomato and its glutamic acid content in particular possess the wonderful attribute of enhancing the natural flavour of foods. Why not just give it a try! You can find plenty of recipes here on this website.

From fully ripe tomatoes and nothing else. The juice is extracted from the tomatoes using a specially developed production process, while solids and cellulose content are filtered out. Our two seasoning versions, TOMAMI No.1 and TOMAMI No.2, are obtained by means of different centrifugation processes and gentle heating. And they are so concentrated, which means that a 240 ml bottle contains 4 kg of tomatoes! Just tomatoes and nothing else – that’s a promise!

TOMAMI No.1 and No.2 contain nothing but tomatoes: no additives or preservatives, no spices. 100 % tomato, 100 % natural, 100 % vegan!

The tomatoes for TOMAMI are grown by our longstanding partners in California (TOMAMI No.1) and Israel (TOMAMI No.2) and processed into our seasonings in multiple stages – as in winemaking. The tomatoes used are proprietary varieties, which are particularly rich in lycopene. Finally, everthing is gently heated once again in Germany and then bottled.

The inherent flavour of seasoning No.1 (umami = Japanese for meaty, savoury, intensive) remains in the background and this product adds zest and depth of flavour at mild acidity and subtle sweetness. Seasoning No.2 has a wonderfully tomatoey taste with some acidity and gives dishes that typically tomato character! Both versions have a pure tomato content. No salt, additives or preservatives!

That’s the way it is with some good things in life – they are just waiting to be discovered! Many of our customers wonder how they managed without TOMAMI for so long, because it provides entirely new, more intensive taste sensations. Many people now regard it as an essential ingredient in their cuisine. Why not just try it out yourself!

Add a small quantity, taste, add a bit more, taste again… Be it a drop, a dash or more – you decide how intensive the interplay of sweet and sour is on your palate. So just be bold and give it a try!

At room temperature before opening; once opened, you are best off storing your bottle of TOMAMI in the refrigerator.

If unopened, our TOMAMI seasonings have a shelf life of up to 18 months – from the date of production. Once opened, you are best off storing TOMAMI in the refrigerator and consuming within approx. 6 months.

At any rate less than usual! A key factor, especially for people who should or want to consume less salt for health reasons.

Tomato paste is exactly that – a paste, which always adds that typically tomatoey flavour to food. It is made from tomato purée and does not have the same concentrated flavouring characteristics as TOMAMI. Tomato paste is good for thickening sauces, for example, and needs to be browned. TOMAMI is made from high-quality tomato juice and provides extremely concentrated flavouring. As it is liquid, it can be measured out in very precise quantities and mixed in perfectly to any dish, even cocktails. TOMAMI intensifies the inherent flavour of any dish but does not overpower it.

We have an online shop, and our products are also available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from delicatessens, selected food markets and department stores, as well as numerous online gourmet retailers. You can find a list of all outlets here.

TOMAMI No.1 is intensely fruity with spice and depth of flavour. In direct comparison to TOMAMI No.2, the tomato character and acidity take a back seat here. It imparts a full-bodied, spicy umami flavour without overpowering tomato taste. We like to call it an all-rounder, as it goes well with most dishes. It is also perfect for savoury dishes that lack roasted flavours, such as fish or vegetable dishes, soups or dressings.

TOMAMI No.2 has a strong acidic flavour with a fruity, aromatic tomato note. It has the same flavour-enhancing properties and savoury base. This makes it ideal for Mediterranean cuisine as well as stews, casseroles and dressings. So it’s all a matter of personal taste.

Our seasoning sauces offer quick sophistication when seasoning. Here, TOMAMI No.1 is combined with first-class spice compositions from the Altes Gewürzamt manufactory. With the varieties TOMAMI Bayern, Hot India, Japan, Marrakech, Persien, Provence, Santorin and Toskana, culinary discovery is made easy.

Our two hot sauces, CHILI+INGWER and CHILI+MANGO, offer a chilli kick without any frills. Enjoy the fire of habanero and the full-bodied flavour of TOMAMI No.1. Of course, all of our products are free from flavour enhancers and preservatives.
TOMAMI ketchup impresses with its high tomato content: 450 g of tomatoes per 100 g of ketchup. And once again, TOMAMI No. 1 for that special umami taste experience!

Our most popular bottle for the catering trade is the 740 ml version. TOMAMI is of course also available in 90 ml and 240 ml bottles. If you are a trade customer, please contact us direct to place an order with your personal contact!
