La Catedral de Navarra Whole Peeled Tomatoes – Spanish Tomatoes in Olive Oil 530g

La Catedral de Navarra's whole peeled tomatoes arrive in a generously sized 530-gram jar, each fruit preserved in its own olive oil. These are not sauce or paste — they are intact, hand-peeled tomatoes from Navarra's sun-soaked growing regions, canned at their peak ripeness. The result is a product that tastes like summer captured in glass: deep, slightly sweet, with the clean acidity that comes from varieties grown in northern Spain's cooler climate.

About this product

Whole peeled tomatoes are the foundation of countless Spanish home kitchens. Unlike crushed or diced versions, they hold their shape and texture through slow simmering, allowing you to build a sauce with body and character. The olive oil bath both preserves the fruit and adds subtle richness, reducing the need for additional oil when cooking. This jar is large enough to feed four to six people, making it practical for weeknight pasta, gazpacho, or a long-simmered stew.

How to enjoy

• Simmer gently with garlic and onion as the base for a classic tomato sauce for pasta or rice.
• Drain and use in gazpacho or salmorejo for a chunky, rustic texture.
• Add to bean stews, fish soups, or bean-and-chorizo dishes mid-way through cooking.
• Layer into a baked vegetable gratin or cazuela alongside peppers and aubergine.
• Spoon cold over burrata or fresh cheese with toasted bread for a simple first course.

⭐ Why we love this

La Catedral de Navarra represents the Spanish approach to preserving summer's bounty without compromise—whole tomatoes hand-peeled and canned at peak ripeness retain the natural acidity and sweetness that no sauce can replicate. This is the cornerstone ingredient in authentic Spanish kitchens, where a jar of quality whole tomatoes is as essential as good olive oil.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with a bright, herbaceous white wine like Albariño from Rías Baixas or a crisp Verdejo from Rueda when serving cold with fresh cheese and bread; for warm dishes, a medium-bodied Spanish red such as Garnacha complements the tomatoes' natural sweetness beautifully. Perfect alongside grilled seafood, bean stews, or a traditional Spanish paella night.

📍 From Spain

Sourced from Navarra, a region in Spain's cooler north where tomatoes develop exceptional balance between acidity and sweetness—conditions that produce far superior results than warmer Mediterranean growing zones. La Catedral de Navarra's commitment to hand-peeling and preserving in olive oil reflects the Navarrese tradition of quality over volume in artisanal food production.
