Why Order Your Saucing Tomatoes from La Vita?

A Connection to the Land: For more than three decades, our family has cultivated the fertile soils of the Adelaide Plains' flood plains. This unique location provides us with rich black soil and access to clean underground water, reminiscent of the volcanic soils of Naples, Italy. These natural flood plains across Australia boast high nutrient and water-holding capacities, creating an ideal environment for growing tomatoes that are robust, flavourful, and rich in quality.

The Art of Selecting Varieties: At La Vita, we've taken great care in selecting tomato varieties best suited for saucing. Our focus has always been on low water content and high pulp percentage, two key attributes that are essential for crafting the finest passata. We understand that it's the purity and depth of flavor that define a truly remarkable sauce.

Sustainable and Natural Farming Practices: Our commitment to quality extends beyond the choice of tomato varieties. We take pride in our low fertiliser and chemical use, adhering to natural growing methods and sustainable farming practices. This approach not only ensures the health of our soil and crops but also reflects our dedication to responsible land stewardship.

A Journey Driven by Flavour: The story of La Vita began with a simple frustration – the disappointment of consistently purchasing low-grade tomato sauce with poor flavour and high acid content. Determined to experience the true taste of quality sauce, we decided to grow our own tomatoes. This decision allowed us to regain control over the growing methods, leading to the production of tomato sauce with the authentic and delicious flavours we craved.

Breaking Away from Convention: In a market dominated by "fresh tomatoes" grown with high nitrogen fertiliser inputs and designed for maximum shelf life, we set out to produce tomatoes that are specifically tailored for passata. We understood that the true secret of passata lies in low water content and a lower pH – qualities that fresh tomatoes often lack. By focusing on these aspects, we have redefined the art of tomato sauce production.

At La Vita, we believe in the power of tradition, quality, and flavour. Join us on this extraordinary journey, where our tomatoes are not just ingredients but the heart and soul of your culinary creations.
