Frequently Asked Questions

Are these diced tomatoes seasoned with salt or herbs?
Bell 'Orto Diced Tomatoes are packed in their natural juice with minimal additives to maintain a "clean" flavor profile. This unseasoned approach is preferred by professional chefs because it allows for total customization. You can add your own salt, basil, oregano, or garlic to suit your specific recipe without worrying about the tomatoes being too salty or pre-flavored.

How do these compare to crushed or whole peeled tomatoes?
Diced tomatoes are specifically designed to retain their shape. While whole peeled tomatoes are great for hand-crushing into rustic sauces, and crushed tomatoes provide a smooth texture, diced tomatoes provide a satisfying "chunkiness." They are the best choice for recipes where you want visible pieces of tomato, such as in chili, minestrone soup, or bruschetta toppings.

Can I use the juice from the tin in my cooking?
Absolutely! The juice in the tin is 100% natural tomato juice. It is highly flavorful and should be used as part of your liquid base for soups and sauces. It adds a richness and depth of color that water or stock cannot provide. If a recipe calls for "drained tomatoes," you can save the juice in the freezer to use later as a base for a Bloody Mary or a tomato-based broth.

How many cups of tomatoes are in one 2.84L tin?
One 2.84L (100oz) tin contains approximately 12.5 cups of diced tomatoes and juice. For high-volume cooking, this is equivalent to about seven standard retail-sized tins, making it a significantly more efficient and eco-friendly option for busy kitchens and catering operations.

Do these tomatoes need to be cooked before eating?
No, these tomatoes are fully steamed and processed during the canning stage, making them safe to eat directly from the tin. This makes them excellent for cold applications like quick salsas, cold pasta salads, or topping a fresh bruschetta. However, their flavor truly deepens and caramelizes when simmered in hot applications.

How should I store the tomatoes if I don't use the whole tin?
Once the tin is opened, the tomatoes should be transferred to a plastic or glass airtight container. Storing them in the original metal tin after opening can lead to a metallic taste. When refrigerated, they will stay fresh for 5 to 7 days. If you need to store them longer, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
