Trader Joe's is offering the taste of gourmet pizza sauce in a can with the debut of its new Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes with Basil Leaf product.
The new Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes with Basil Leaf product is grown and packed for Trader Joe's by a supplier in Italy. The supplier fills each 28-ounce can with juicy Roma tomatoes grown in Italy's Puglia region and picked at peak, end-of-summer harvest. The fresh tomatoes are then peeled and packed with tomato juice and fresh basil leaves, which adds a herby element to the sweet tomatoes. The result is a versatile canned product that makes the perfect addition to homemade pasta sauce, savory soups, or even at-home pizzas.
