Ingredients Dried tomatoes (55% dehydrated) Sunflower oil Oregano Salt Preparation First of all, the tomatoes are dehydrated. Once dehydrated at the right point, they are placed in glass containers, covered with sunflower oil (olive oil has a too intense flavor and would modify the flavor of the tomatoes), and oregano is added. Finally it is pasteurized at 110o for 4 minutes.
Why is sterilization done? Sterilization is the elimination or death of all microorganisms contained in the container. We do it through the moist heat method (in autoclave)
