Sugo Pronto Basilico (READY BASIL SAUCE)
Crispino Sugo Pronto Basilico — Authentic Calabrian Tomato & Basil Sauce
Bright, aromatic, and effortlessly elegant, Crispino Sugo Pronto Basilico is a classic Calabrian tomato sauce crafted with uncompromising purity. Made entirely in Calabria, Italy, this sugo blends premium Italian tomato pulp with fresh basil leaves, creating a clean, fragrant, Mediterranean-forward sauce that reflects true Southern Italian simplicity.
With 87% Italian tomato pulp, slow-cooked to preserve natural sweetness and depth, and enriched with extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil (3%), onion, and sea salt, this sauce delivers a velvety texture and balanced herb aroma. Free from citric acid, preservatives, concentrates, dyes, and added sugar, it embodies Famiglia Crispino’s commitment to clean-label, small-batch production.
Taycte/MySapori brings this authentic Calabrian classic to the U.S., offering a tomato-and-basil sauce that is far purer and more traditionally crafted than most basil sughi found in American retail.
Why It Stands Out
-
Made in Calabria, Italy by Famiglia Crispino
-
87% premium Italian tomato pulp — naturally sweet & rich
-
Infused with fresh basil (3%) for clean Mediterranean aroma
-
Enriched with extra virgin olive oil
-
No citric acid • No preservatives • No dyes • No added sugar
-
Vegan • Gluten-free • Allergen-safe
-
Clean-label, minimal-ingredient recipe
-
Produced by an award-winning family — Italian Food Awards, First Place
This is the purest expression of tomato + basil — the most iconic pairing in Italian cuisine.
Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market
Most “basil pasta sauces” sold in the U.S. are:
-
made with tomato concentrate
-
acidified with citric acid
-
sweetened with sugar
-
colored to appear fresher
-
blended with seed oils instead of EVOO
-
mass-produced outside Italy
Crispino Sugo Pronto Basilico is the authentic Calabrian version, offering:
-
real fresh basil
-
extra virgin olive oil
-
pure Italian tomato pulp
-
traditional preparation
-
zero acidity correctors
This makes it one of the most clean and authentic basil sughi available to American home cooks and chefs.
How to Use
-
Toss with spaghetti, penne, orecchiette, or gnocchi
-
Use as a base for pizza or focaccia
-
Pair with grilled vegetables or chicken
-
Add to lasagna, baked pasta, or parmigiana dishes
-
Swirl into soups, stews, or Mediterranean bowls
-
Spoon over burrata, mozzarella, or ricotta for a classic Italian pairing
Flavor profile: bright tomato sweetness, fragrant fresh basil, smooth EVOO body, gentle onion notes — balanced, clean, and unmistakably Calabrian.
