Not your average supermarket tomato paste.
Once you've tasted authentic Antep tomato paste, you'll never look at that small tin from the discount store the same way again. Our Domates Salçası from Gaziantep is made from sun-ripened tomatoes grown under the intense Anatolian sun – and then slowly cooked down over an open wood fire using traditional methods. The result is a deep, concentrated tomato paste with a smoky undertone and a vibrant color that immediately shines through in any dish.
1 kg – the right amount for households that really cook.
What makes this tomato paste special?
Industrial tomato paste is quickly thickened at high temperatures, often stabilized with citric acid, and standardized for uniform color. Our Antep Salça is different: just tomatoes and salt, slowly reduced over a wood fire. No stabilizers, no colorings, no shortcuts.
The wood-fire process gives the paste a subtle roasted aroma and a depth that is considered an unmistakable flavor enhancer in Turkish, Arabic, and Mediterranean cuisine. One spoon of it transforms an entire sauce.
Origin: Gaziantep, Turkey – a city that holds the same significance in Turkish cuisine as Bologna does in Italian. Antep Salça isn't just an ingredient here; it's a staple.
What is the difference between Antep tomato paste and regular tomato paste?
Regular tomato paste is heavily reduced tomato juice – neutral in flavor, optimized for consistency. Antep tomato paste is concentrated tomato pulp cooked over a wood fire, with an aromatic depth reminiscent of roasting and ripeness. The difference in taste is significant – similar to that between industrial tomato passata and a homemade sauce.
What is Antep tomato paste suitable for?
• Pasta sauces & soups – as a base for more depth and natural color
• Stews – Kuru Fasulye, Nohut, Mercimek, Etli Yemekler
• Lahmacun & Pide – the authentic base for the dough topping
• Kısır & Taboulé – as a seasoning component in bulgur-based salads
• Shakshuka & Menemen – for a full-bodied tomato base
• Turkish breakfast – mixed with olive oil as a rich bread spread
• Grilling & marinades – as a base for meat marinades with garlic and spices
• Börek & Gözleme filling – as a flavor enhancer
Tomato paste, pepper paste, or both?
In Turkish cuisine, tomato paste (Domates Salçası) and pepper paste (Biber Salçası) are often used together – one brings fruity acidity, the other depth and spice. All three varieties – Domates, Tatlı Biber, Acı Biber – are available in our range.

Direct from the sunniest gardens – No detours
Our Salça (tomato and pepper paste) is made from the finest Anatolian vegetables, ripened under more than 300 days of sunshine a year. We work directly with local farmers – no intermediaries, no anonymous wholesale markets. Only freshly harvested tomatoes and peppers make it into our jars. Pure varietal flavor, directly from the source to your home.
Traditional Sun Drying – Maximum Intensity
Industrial salça is often rapidly boiled down at high temperatures, causing vitamins and aroma to be lost. Our salça, however, is traditionally sun-dried until it reaches its deep red color and thick consistency.
No additives: No added sugar, no artificial colors, no preservatives.
Pure & Intense: One spoonful of our salça replaces three spoonfuls of conventional industrial products. You'll notice the difference in scent and color as soon as you open the jar.
Satisfaction or money back
We stand 100% behind the quality of our traditional Salça – and you should too. If you're not convinced by the taste, just contact us. As a family business from Mannheim, we personally vouch for the purity of our products.
Fast Shipping: 1-3 business days.

Anyone who has experienced the difference between watery industrial products and our artisanally produced concentrate – in color, texture, and deep umami flavor – immediately understands.
Try it out. Your dishes will love it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between your salça and conventional tomato paste?
What is the difference between your salça and conventional tomato paste?
The main difference lies in the concentration and production. While conventional tomato paste is often industrially boiled down under high pressure, our Elea Minon Salça is traditionally sun-dried. This makes it significantly more intense, thicker, and gives it a deep, smoky aroma that industrial products lack.
Does your salça contain artificial colorings or preservatives?
Does your salça contain artificial colorings or preservatives?
No.The vibrant red color of our Salça comes exclusively from sun-ripened tomatoes and peppers from the Aegean region. We adhere to the "clean label" principle: nothing but vegetables and a minimal amount of sea salt for natural preservation goes into the jar – no sugar, no dyes, no chemicals.
Why is there salt in salça?
Why is there salt in salça?
In traditional production, salt serves as a natural preservative, especially for sun-dried products. Since our salça is very concentrated, we recommend not adding extra salt when cooking initially and only seasoning further after tasting.
How do I prevent the salça from molding after opening?
How do I prevent the salça from molding after opening?
As we don't use chemical preservatives, proper handling is important: Always use a clean spoon. Our professional tip: Cover the surface of the salça in the jar with a thin layer of Elea Minon olive oil. This seals the product airtight and keeps it fresh in the refrigerator for months.
Can I use pepper paste (Biber Salçası) for German dishes as well?
Can I use pepper paste (Biber Salçası) for German dishes as well?
Absolutely! Our mild or hot paprika paste is a true "umami wonder." It's perfect for goulash, bolognese, stews, or as a base for grill marinades. It gives every dish a deep red color and a fruity spice that goes far beyond regular tomato paste.
