GROWING REGIONS
The differences in soil and climate conditions among the various tomato growing regions account for variances in consistency, solids, taste, and usage. While tomatoes are grown in many regions around the globe—China, India, and Turkey being the world’s largest producers— Performance Foodservice sources from several major growing regions which produce the finest tasting tomatoes on the planet. In the United States, this includes California, the nation’s No. 1 producer, the Midwest, primarily in the states of Indiana and Ohio. While internationally this includes portions of Canada, and the Naples region of Italy.
Tomatoes grown in California have higher amounts of solids (sugar, acids, salt) than those grown in the Midwest, Canada, and Italy. The higher solid count in California allows producers to craft a more diverse range of products, from quality pizza sauces, to allpurpose ground tomatoes, to peeled pear tomatoes in juice or purée. The higher solids in California tomatoes provide more structure and durability. When making sauce preparations, California tomatoes can endure a longer cook time because of this structure. Also, preparing a sauce using meat such as beef, pork, veal, or lamb will work well with the higher tomato solids. Pizza baked in a 500-degree oven will also perform well with California products.
6
Midwest tomatoes have fewer solids and are less sweet and tart than those grown in California and Italy. And despite a shorter growing season, the tomatoes produced in the Midwest are grown at the same latitude as those in Italy and California, resulting in vineripe products that are rich in color, texture, and flavor, perfect for sauces and ketchup.
Italy’s tomato producers make fewer varieties, but the distinct flavor of peeled whole tomatoes with basil makes them the most popular tomato products in pizza and Italian cooking throughout the world. In Naples, Mount Vesuvius’ volcanic soil and the nearby sea provide an ideal environment for tomato plants, giving them a sweet and only slightly tart taste.
The differences in soil and climate conditions account for variances in consistency, taste, and usage.

TOMATO FACTS & FIGURES
Tomatoes are made up of pulp, seeds, skin, and solids. Solids are one component of the tomato that determines its structure and how it is used. Solids are made up of three aspects—sugar, acids and salt.
Recent statistics indicate 38.3 million metric tons of tomato products (estimated raw material equivalent) are consumed globally. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans eat between 22- 24 pounds of tomatoes per person, per year. (More than half of those are ketchup and tomato sauce).
8
There are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes which come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and even colors. Plum tomatoes are ideal for making pizza sauce and other tomato sauces. Pear tomatoes are basically cherry tomatoes except pear-shaped. These heirloom tomato varieties can be traced back to the 18th century, and while they can come in reds or oranges, they’re most commonly yellow. They have delicate skin and a sweet, mild flavor.
Whole peeled tomatoes are packed in either juice or puree and are usually the highest quality tomato products. Crushed tomatoes are simply broken up from whole peeled and are used for sauces and recipes. Diced tomatoes are tomato chunks packed in tomato juice.
Roma is the classic tomato used in Italian cooking and is popular for canning and making tomato paste. Though the classic Roma is 3 inches long, larger varieties are now available. Romas are not as sweet as some of the similar heirloom tomatoes.
San Marzano is considered the classic paste tomato. The San Marzano has a dense, almost dry, sweet flavor. The tomatoes typically grow between 2 to 3 inches. Legally, and to be called a San Marzano, this tomato must be grown in the “Valley of Sarno,” in Italy.
Americans eat between 22- 24 pounds of tomatoes per person, per year.

CANNING/PACKING
Performance Foodservice tomato products are packed according to specific guidelines — a standard of quality gained through understanding our customers’ needs for more than 66 years. Our producers work closely with growers who manage fields for acceptable pH levels and harvest at the perfect time of year.
During the packing season, we test numerous samples through a rigorous process. Our producers perform detailed lab tests on the crop before entering the packing plant, and fresh fruit is rejected if not up to the required standards. We ensure that when our tomato products are packed, the cooking temperature is cooler than the industry standard. This process ensures a fresher, more robust tomato flavor and enables us to maintain the consistency of our brands year-after-year.

The process of diced tomatoes takes fresh, whole tomatoes which are chopped into smaller pieces, or cubes, prior to canning. Diced tomatoes tend to cook down while retaining their shape more effectively than other options. They are excellent for use in soups, stews, and sauces. Our famous family of Roma products are sourced from the Midwest and California and canned in juice or purée as are our West Creek, Contigo, and Bountiful Harvest products.

Not to be confused with purée, which are typically cooked for a longer period, our products are packed from fresh pear tomatoes with no citric acid added but are sometimes blended with purée. Ground tomatoes work well in salsa, soups, and pizza and pasta sauces.
Our ground products can be found in Roma, Piancone, and Luigi brands sourced from California, along with a West Creek option from the Midwest. The Piancone and Luigi products are 100% steam peeled and include no calcium chloride. Our premier product in this category is an authentic peeled ground tomato option specially imported from Italy within the Piancone brand.

The texture and consistency of a crushed tomato lies somewhere between tomato sauce and diced. These are often used as a great shortcut for making sauces, particularly pizza, though these products generally do not include basil.

A purée is not as heavy as tomato paste and not as coarse as crushed tomatoes. Tomato purées are sometimes referred to as ground tomatoes, however, they are actually different products. Tomato purées have a thick viscosity created by cooking and straining tomatoes. Great for dips, tomato purées are also used for making pizza and pasta sauces.
We offer Piancone, Roma, and Bountiful Harvest products from California and West Creek, Contigo, and Bountiful Harvest products from the Midwest.

Puree numbers refer to the level of tomato concentration. The higher the number, the more tomato solids are part of the puree.
For example:
• 1.045 Heavy Puree
• 1.06 Extra Heavy Puree
• 1.07 Super Heavy Puree
With a higher level of tomato solids, an operator is able to achieve higher yields by adding more water to the recipe.

MORE TASTE MORE PASTE

Tomato paste offers a thick and concentrated flavor, and it is darker in color due to the amount of time the tomatoes are cooked down. Tomato paste is often used as a complement to other ingredients, helping to enhance the tomato flavors with added richness. Our Roma and Bountiful Harvest brands come from California, with our West Creek version sourced from the Midwest.

We are the market leaders in pizza with a comprehensive portfolio of cheese, dough, toppings, and of course, sauce. With that comes an understanding that pizza tastes and types vary by region and even city. A Chicago-style pizza is vastly different from what you might find in California or New York. And so, we offer a tremendous variety of pizza sauces in our Roma family of brands and West Creek brand.
Our delicious pizza sauces are made from sun-ripened tomatoes with basil, olive oil, and additional spices. Great for use on pizzas, calzones, and pastas, we offer Roma, Ultimo! and Piancone varieties sourced from California, in addition to a classic Piancone Epicureo sauce imported directly from Italy.

Marinara is a classic sauce made from vine-ripened tomatoes, typically blended with olive oil, garlic, herbs, onions, and oregano. This sauce can be served over Italian-style pasta dishes and is ideal as an appetizer dipping sauce for items like mozzarella sticks and garlic bread. It comes in both smooth and chunky style depending on preference.
We feature Roma, Piancone, and Ultimo! marinara products from California, along with an authentic Piancone Epicureo option sourced from Italy. Plus, we provide a Roma sauce in a round cup from the Midwest, and West Creek sauce from the Midwest.

Fresh picked tomatoes are rinsed, sized, sliced, and placed on drying trays. This is followed by one to two weeks of drying, which reduces the moisture content of the tomato and provides pronounced tomato flavors.
Our sun-dried Roma product is canned julienne style and sourced from Turkey, while we also have julienne, diced, and halved options in our Magellan brand, sourced from California.

BRIX
BRIX is a measure in degrees of the number of dissolved solids in a liquid via its specific gravity. Used to measure dissolved sugar in fruit juice.
Chopped, Cut & Strip Tomatoes
Tomatoes that are peeled or unpeeled, this variety are then cut into units (cubes, slices, etc.) of approximately uniform thickness.
Crushed Tomatoes
The texture and consistency of a crushed tomato lies somewhere between tomato sauce and diced. These are often used as a great shortcut for making sauces.
Diced Tomatoes
Fresh tomatoes that are chopped into small pieces or cubes prior to canning.
Ground Tomatoes
Not to be confused with purée which is typically cooked for a longer period.
Pear Tomato
Pear-shaped and can be based upon the San Marzano types for a richer gourmet paste.
Plum Tomato
A term used to classify tomatoes that centers on the size and shape of the fruit. Plum tomatoes are medium- to small-sized, oval, or cylindrical in shape, are thickwalled, and have fewer seed compartments. Plum tomatoes are sometimes called paste tomatoes or Roma tomatoes.
Round Tomato
Round tomatoes are large, round red tomatoes usually used for slicing and salads. They have a classic tomato flavor.
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Fresh picked tomatoes are rinsed, sized, sliced, and placed on drying trays. This is followed by 1 to 2 weeks of drying, which reduces the moisture content of the tomato and provides pronounced tomato flavors.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
72
Tomato Juice
Made from fine tomato pulp, with all skins and stems removed from the tomato.
Tomato Purée
Tomato purée is a thick liquid made from cooked and strained tomatoes. The purée is made from whole tomatoes and generally does not include added water.
Tomato Paste
Tomato paste offers a thick and concentrated flavor, and it’s darker in color due to the amount of time the tomatoes are cooked down.
Tomato Sauce
Generally tomato sauces have a pourable texture and are thinner than tomato purée.
Whole Tomatoes
The seasonal process of picking vine-ripe whole tomatoes — that are then cleaned, sorted, peeled (or unpeeled), blanched and packed in cans — all occur within hours of hanging on the vine. Generally packed in juice or purée, and with or without basil, this style of canned tomato is the most common as well as the most versatile.
