Tomato Sauce with Basil from Masseria Mirogallo. Traditional Tomato Basil Sauce Made with Estate-Grown Italian Tomatoes. This sauce is Basilicata in a jar! The balanced sweet and acidic tomato passata is slowly cooked with fresh, aromatic basil and extra virgin olive oil to create a classic, simple sauce perfetto for pasta, pizza and more.
The farm’s vine-ripe tomatoes are picked at the perfect point of ripeness and consistency to ensure unequaled color and flavor. The tomatoes are blanched for a few seconds to remove the peel, passed through a mill, sieved and then set on colanders to drain until they achieve just the right consistency.

About the producer
The Belfiore family farm, known as Masseria Mirogallo, sits on 70 acres of land in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The family specializes in cultivating heirloom vegetables, from which they handcraft exceptional pantry preserves—bright tomato sauces, sun-dried tomatoes packed in extra virgin olive oil and hand-peeled artichoke hearts.
Since the 1800s, one of the largest farms in Lucana Valley of Basilicata, Italy has been owned by the Mirogallo family, who specialize in the cultivation and preservation of heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables from which they hand-make very high-quality pantry products. The Mirogallo brothers are quick to point out that everything they put in a jar comes from their fields, and that the only preservatives they use are vinegar and salt. Every summer, the Mirogallo farm is bustling with many farm-workers hand harvesting sun-ripe fruit and vegetables. Inside the old whitewashed farm building, a state-of-the-art kitchen transforms the bounty of every day into a wide array of jars of all color and sizes.
Basilicata is little known to most, but Matera is one of Italy’s main tourist destinations because it is home to the unique Sassi di Matera, a prehistoric settlement of stone houses built directly into caves. Today, the city is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
