Pastes, Purées, & Mashes

Intense Flavor – A Little Goes a Long Way

Culinary Farms’ frozen and shelf-stable pastes, purées, and mashes deliver true clean label, natural flavor with no adverse aftertaste.

 

Our popular tomato pastes come in two varieties — Sun Dried and Smoked Sun Dried, each delivering intense, rich tomato flavor.

 

Our chile pastes, purées, and mashes are uniquely pungent, made from Mexican and South American chiles. They enable foodservice operators and food manufacturers to be on trend with consumer interest in Latin cuisine and chile-flavored foods.

 

The Natural Onion purée delivers all the flavor from fresh onion without tearing!

 

We also offer a spicy, yet savory line of Specialty Pastes and Purées. Add sizzle and wow to almost any food item with Chipotle Adobo, and Sriracha.

 

Pastes, purées, and mashes are easy to use and blend quickly with other ingredients. A small amount goes a long way when adding these powerfully flavored ingredients. Frozen or shelf-stable, pastes, purées, and mashes are an excellent ingredient format for bases, soups, sauces, marinades, and dressings.

 

Our in-house formulation and processing capability enables us to produce customized pastes and purées to meet a customer’s desired ingredient composition and flavor profile. Give us a call to learn more about custom products and toll processing services.
