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.
