Salsa per Amatori Rustica (RUSTIC SAUCE STARTER)
Crispino “Salsa Per Amatori Rustica” — Calabrian Roasted Tomato Passata (No Salt, No Citric Acid, No Concentrate)
Smoky, robust, and unmistakably Calabrian, Crispino Salsa Per Amatori Rustica is a roasted tomato passata that celebrates the deeper, earthier side of Southern Italy’s culinary tradition. Made entirely in Calabria, this sauce captures the intense flavor of tomatoes that are first sun-ripened, then slow-roasted to coax out a rich, caramelized sweetness and a warm, smoky undertone.
Crafted from tomatoes grown within a 50-kilometer local radius, this Rustica passata is processed within hours of harvest to preserve the tomatoes’ natural purity. True to Famiglia Crispino’s clean-label philosophy, it contains no tomato concentrate, no citric acid, no added salt, no preservatives, and no dyes — just pure roasted tomatoes, elevated by slow cooking and traditional Calabrian technique.
Taycte/MySapori is proud to bring one of Italy’s most authentic roasted tomato passatas to the U.S. market — a product that is rarely exported and almost never found in its pure form.
Why It Stands Out
-
Made in Calabria, Italy
-
Crafted from sun-ripened, slow-roasted tomatoes
-
Tomatoes grown within a 50 km radius of the Crispino family
-
No salt, no citric acid, no tomato concentrate
-
No preservatives, dyes, or artificial additives
-
Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-safe
-
Clean-label, minimal-ingredient recipe

This is the purest expression of roasted Calabrian tomatoes — deep, earthy, smoky, and incredibly aromatic.
Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market
Most U.S. “roasted tomato sauces” are:
-
thickened with tomato paste
-
acidified with citric acid
-
flavored with smoke extract
-
preserved with chemicals
-
made outside Italy
-
blended with sugar or industrial oils
Crispino’s Salsa Per Amatori Rustica is the authentic Calabrian version, made only with:
-
roasted tomatoes
-
traditional slow processing
-
pure tomato pulp
-
no acidity correctors
-
zero additives
This makes it one of the cleanest and most authentic roasted tomato passatas available to American consumers.
How to Use
-
Create rich, rustic pasta sauces (fusilli, rigatoni, orecchiette)

-
Add to braises, stews, and slow-cooked dishes

Flavor profile: roasted tomato richness, deep caramelized sweetness, soft smokiness, smooth texture, unmistakably Calabrian.
