Contadina Tomato Paste has been around for as long as I can remember. (And I've been around a long, long time.) I even remember a Contadina ad being spoofed in Mad Magazine in the early sixties (where it was called "Concertina"). So, what does this have to do with the product? Not much, except to say that the same high quality that was there more than half a century ago is still there today. Contadina Tomato Paste has the same rich flavor and the same thickness that it has always had. This is the perfect brand to buy for any dish that calls for tomato paste (or as a way of making tomato or spaghetti sauce a bit thicker and smoother). Moreover, Contadina contains no high fructose corn syrup, an additive found in some tomato pastes, which is certainly an added reason to pick up a can of Contadina next time you go shopping.
