Tomato Paste vs Tomato Puree
Tomato Paste
Tomato Puree
Tomato puree and paste share the same main ingredient. However, there are notable distinctions that make them two vastly different ingredients:
1. Preparation Method
Tomato puree is made by lightly cooking tomatoes and then pureeing the softened product into a liquid.
Tomato paste, meanwhile, has been simmered and cooked for a long time to take its texture past the consistency of a paste to something thicker. After being cooked for a while, the tomato paste is strained to remove the seeds and skins of the tomatoes. Then it is cooked longer to achieve the paste-like consistency, which is sometimes used to thicken sauces and gravies.
2. Consistency
Tomato puree is much thinner than tomato paste.
If you were to pour a can of puree into an unheated pan, the liquid would spread and fill the pan like a thick broth. If you were to empty a can of paste into an unheated pan, its firm consistency would cause it to remain largely intact.
3. Intensity of Flavor
Tomato paste has a richer taste than tomato puree due to its long cooking time. The hours spent over heat brings out more intense flavors, resulting in a product that tastes somewhat like a dried tomato.
Because tomato paste is cooked for so long, the flavor of the tomatoes mellows out and isn’t as bright and acidic as fresh tomatoes are. Instead, it develops a sweet, full-bodied flavor that can add a punch of tomato flavor and richness to your dishes.
4. Uses
Tomato paste is often used to thicken sauces, or to add flavor to soups or stews. Tomato puree is used to form the base of thinner tomato-based sauces and condiments like salsas, hot sauce, marinara sauce, or pizza sauce.
Specifications of Tomato Paste
Concentration (BRIX)
Tomato Puree: if the food contains not less than 10% but less than 18% natural total soluble solids;
Tomato Paste: Tomato Concentrate that contains no less than 18% but less than 28% on natural tomato soluble solids.
concentration: Tomato Concentrate that contains at least 28% of natural tomato soluble solids
- Light concentration: 28 percent or more, but less than 32
- Medium concentration: 32 percent or more, but less than 38
- Heavy concentration: 38 percent or more.
PH: As the pH value is an important criteria in tomato puree and tomato paste, we have set the maximum pH 4.3
Mold Count:
Mold counts are only one of several methods for determining the acceptability of the finished product. Only the fungus rots are characterized by the presence of mold filaments. Mold Counts are not increased by the presence of rot caused by bacteria, virus or non-parasitic factors.
High Mold Counts confirm that large amounts of rotten material are present. The tolerance for Mold Count differs among various countries legislation.

Storage Tips
Left over tomato paste in the can will keep in the fridge for 5 to 7 days after in an airtight container like a mason jar or pyrex storage container. You’ll know it’s gone bad if it starts to smell “off” or if it begins to mold.
Tomato paste will keep in the freezer for 2 to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.
