Different tomato preparations
Cirio’s product description distinguishes tomato juice concentrated with heat from strained passata. Mutti’s catalogue separately identifies double-concentrated paste. The name is not an instruction to add twice the volume of tomato or twice as much paste to a sauce.
At the table
Use the form and amount named in your recipe. Keep a recipe’s measured spoonful of concentrate distinct from a larger quantity of passata, rather than exchanging the two without adjusting the preparation.
