Mediterranean Context
Drying is one of the oldest Mediterranean preservation methods.
By reducing moisture, tomatoes develop concentrated sweetness, acidity, and umami. Once preserved in olive oil, they become versatile, intense, and long-lasting. This process captures summer and extends it across seasons.
Sun-dried tomatoes are not background ingredients. They are accents.
The Character of Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Concentrated Flavor Profile
Drying intensifies sweetness and acidity simultaneously.
Chewy yet Tender Texture
Proper rehydration restores softness without losing structure.
Traditional Preparation Approach
Controlled Sun-Drying
Tomatoes are dried slowly to protect aroma and color.
Careful Rehydration
Texture is softened before preservation.
Preserved in Olive Oil
