Crispino Tropea Red Onion Pasta Sauce combines Calabrian tomatoes with the distinctive sweetness of Tropea red onions. Made with 83% Italian tomato pulp and 15% Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, it offers a tomato sauce with the delicate, sweet onion flavour for which this Calabrian speciality is known.

Tropea red onions have Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status, recognising their connection to a designated growing area in Calabria. Crispino combines them with extra virgin olive oil and basil, using a slow steam-cooking process to bring the ingredients together.

Produced in Calabria, southern Italy, this ready-to-use sauce contains no added sugar or citric acid. It is also vegan and gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Warm gently and toss through spaghetti, penne or rigatoni for a simple pasta dish that lets the sweet red onion flavour stand out. Finish with fresh basil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or grated Parmesan, if you like.

It also makes a delicious base for homemade pizza, particularly with mozzarella and roasted vegetables. Try it with potato gnocchi, layered into vegetable lasagne or spooned over baked aubergines.
