The culinary secret to making a Bertolli basilico pasta sauce is inspired by authentic Italian recipes. In 1865, Francesco Bertolli opened a local shop in the city of Lucca, the heart of the Tuscan countryside. In this small local shop, he sold typical regional products from the Tuscan region, such as olive oil, wine, cheese, and olives in barrels and sacks. The building where the company was founded still stands today. It was at that time that Bertolli’s passion for good food began. Only ingredients of the highest quality ensure the finest flavors of the products. That is why Bertolli’s pasta sauces are made with sustainably grown tomatoes. By growing the tomatoes sustainably, not only are the best ingredients chosen for the pasta sauces, but a contribution is also made to a better world. To ensure that the tomatoes for the pasta sauces are grown sustainably, a number of guidelines have been set in cooperation with progressive farmers. For the perfect taste, aroma, and color of the tomatoes, the farmers pay attention to several very important matters, such as: the right qualities of the tomato, the correct amount of water, nutrients, and crop protection agents, with as little use as possible of artificial plant food to prevent environmental pollution, harvesting during the peak season, and investing in the local economy.
