Tabarok 4kg high-Brix concentrated tomato paste packed in heavy-duty food-grade tinplate cans for HORECA and food catering.
FAQ
The finished product is standardized at 27% to 29% Brix. This rich body is attained solely by vacuum evaporation of tomato moisture without adding modified starches, squash pulp, or hydrocolloid fillers, yielding intense culinary color and deep savory flavor at low dosing volumes.
Packed 4 cans per heavy-duty corrugated carton (16 kg net per case), baseline domestic wholesale MOQ is 50 cartons (200 cans). For export container freight, standard 100x120 cm pallets carry 45 to 55 cartons (180 to 220 cans) compliant with transport weight ceilings.
Tabarok 4kg canisters feature a double-coated, acid-resistant food-grade epoxy-phenolic interior lacquer. This impermeable barrier prevents interaction between natural citric/malic tomato acids and the tinplate substrate, completely precluding metallic off-flavors, pinholing, or sulfur blackening.
Color quality yields a Hunter/Gardner a/b ratio exceeding 2.1, indicating vivid natural redness devoid of thermal scorching. Owing to automated optical and rigorous manual sorting of raw tomatoes, the Howard Mold Count (HMC) remains well below the international 40% positive field ceiling.
Once de-canned, remaining paste must be immediately transferred from the open metal tin into sanitized glass or food-grade plastic containers and stored refrigerated at 4°C to 8°C. Utilizing clean, dry utensils and pouring a thin layer of edible vegetable oil over the surface prevents fungal mold growth for several weeks.
The 4kg unit acts as the optimal manual-handling intermediate size between retail cans and bulk aseptic drums. It facilitates exact batch dosing in industrial kettle operations for canned stews, pizza sauces, and marinades without requiring heavy drum-lifting gear, substantially lowering packaging cost per kilogram.
Tabarok issues standard export suites comprising the Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Chamber of Commerce Certificate of Origin, FDA Export Health Certificate, and comprehensive laboratory COAs detailing Brix, titratable acidity, salt content, heavy metals, and HMC fungal counts for customs entry.
