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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 kg – the right amount for households that really cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this tomato paste special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndustrial 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Antep tomato paste and regular tomato paste?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Antep tomato paste suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pasta sauces \u0026amp; soups – as a base for more depth and natural color\u003cbr\u003e• Stews – Kuru Fasulye, Nohut, Mercimek, Etli Yemekler\u003cbr\u003e• Lahmacun \u0026amp; Pide – the authentic base for the dough topping\u003cbr\u003e• Kısır \u0026amp; Taboulé – as a seasoning component in bulgur-based salads\u003cbr\u003e• Shakshuka \u0026amp; Menemen – for a full-bodied tomato base\u003cbr\u003e• Turkish breakfast – mixed with olive oil as a rich bread spread\u003cbr\u003e• Grilling \u0026amp; marinades – as a base for meat marinades with garlic and spices\u003cbr\u003e• Börek \u0026amp; Gözleme filling – as a flavor enhancer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTomato paste, pepper paste, or both?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Content: 1 kg\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Gaziantep, Turkey\u003cbr\u003e• Ingredients: Tomatoes, salt\u003cbr\u003e• Preservatives: none\u003cbr\u003e• Additives: none\u003cbr\u003e• Storage: cool and dry; refrigerate after opening, consume within 4–6 weeks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elea Minon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52980806156630,"sku":null,"price":9.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/6820\/9494\/files\/Antep-domates-salca_f63c2c69-8c45-4785-bb2d-1ac96a411897.webp?v=1774953670","url":"https:\/\/eleaminon.de\/en\/products\/antep-tomatenmark-1kg-gaziantep","provider":"eleaminon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
