When the smell of freshly cooked tomato sauce spreads in the kitchen, the time stops for a moment.

And just like this taste of homeliness is found in a bottle Podravka’s Passed tomato sauce – Passate, who also received the « Select Moms » recognition this year. It is a sign awarded by Slovenian moms after a thorough test of products in everyday use. This means that Passata has passed the strictest test – a family kitchen test. But what is the secret of superior quality and extraordinary taste of Podravka’s Passata?
It boasts exceptional freshness that starts already in the field

This year, Podravka entered the new season with an ambitious goal: to produce more than 40,000 tonnes of tomatoes, which is 25 % more than the year before. This growth is the result of close cooperation with more than 20 Croatian subcontractors, which are carefully cultivated in their fields by tomatoes for Podravka’s products.
From the field to the bottle within 24 hours
One of the biggest benefits of Podravka’s Passata is its freshness. Tomatoes are processed within less than 24 hours after harvest, which retains its full taste, natural color and nutritional value. In the new Podravka plant in Varaždin, which processes up to 1,000 tonnes of tomatoes daily, the fresh fruits are gently converted into a dense, velvety passat without additives, added salt or sugars.

It can be used daily and on special occasions
Whether you are preparing a quick pasta dinner, a rich stew or homemade pizza – Podravka’s Passata is a versatile base that you can trust. Its dense texture and natural aroma connect perfectly with herbs, garlic and olive oil, but also shines without additives in all its simplicity.
