1. What types of dried tomatoes are available?
The range includes sun-dried tomato halves (with or without sulfur), diced tomatoes for industrial use, ready-to-eat soft tomatoes, tomato paste and powder, and oven-baked semi-dried tomatoes. Each one is really built for a different job, whether that’s wholesale food manufacturing or a retail gourmet line. So the choice usually comes down to what the finished product actually needs.
2. What’s the difference between sulphured and unsulphured dried tomatoes?
Sulphured tomatoes keep their bright red color and last longer on the shelf, which works well for markets where appearance sells the product. Unsulphured ones skip that step, giving a more natural result that’s popular with organic and health-conscious brands. Both are on offer, and the right one really depends on the target market and food safety standards involved.
3. What certifications back up the dried tomato exports?
Production runs under HACCP, ISO 22000 and BRC food safety standards, and organic, Kosher and Halal options are available too. For a lot of buyers, this is what makes clearing import regulations or meeting a retailer’s requirements straightforward. It’s worth checking with the export team on which certificate applies to a given order.
4. Are dried tomatoes suitable for large-scale food manufacturing?
Yes, diced tomatoes and tomato powder in particular are made with industrial use in mind, where particle size and moisture consistency matter for automated lines. They’re commonly used in soups, sauces and spice blends at scale. Custom labelling and packaging can usually be sorted out for bigger contracts as well.
5. Which countries receive dried tomato exports?
Shipments go out to Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK, along with North America, the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), and expanding markets across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Over 20 years in export means the logistics, customs paperwork and certifications are already well established. The quickest way to check delivery to a specific country is just to ask the export department directly.
