@@jacobp.2024 so I tried it with a whole chicken, butter and the tomato wood in my smoker. And holy fuck shit was it amazing, but let's get to the details.

If you try to do that in england you are not going to get what you want. If you tried to do that in south Brazil where I live you wouldn't be able to do that because of the huge amount of water in the air. The air in italy is very dry, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn'tn work in other places.

Just RUclips's algorithm so one day they can replicate personalities and make artificial intelligence to do work and be human like while the rich sits on their asses with the main occupation being debugging or programming.
It's sad to see all these comments about it not being hygienic or "safe". Like our brains are so corrupted by modernization that we forget that for thousands of years this is how people lived and survived and I doubt they died from some tomato paste sitting out over night.
Good argument. I guess you'll also find the argument "BUT THAT'S HOW IT WAS DONE BEFORE HURRDURR" compelling enough when your doctor tries to cover you in leeches next time you have a cough.
That reminds me of a student in biology today. He asked "If we have antibiotics now, that can heal people, then how did people get along in the past?" Everyone just replied: "They died"
my grandma does the exact same thing all in her house. sometimes id help. every summer she does this because thats when tomatoes are fresh and they are put in jars and saved throughout the years
Mafaz Chan yeah it’s a joke lmao. Because the title is how to make tomato paste in Sicily. The way it’s worded makes it seem like it can only be done in Sicily.

Lol this person clearly hasn’t been to Italy, been pickpocketed, robbed, witnessed the government chaos, high unemployment rates and low wages. BUT HEY, let’s sugar coat this “true paradise” anyway.
Great descriptions of the process. It's so satisfying to see the "Old World" traditions; thank you so much for sharing! I'm surprised that bugs or critters don't get into the paste when it's left to sit out overnight.
If you look into anything that's grown it's always nasty. Per 100 grams, FDA allows either 10 fly eggs, five fly eggs and one maggot, or two maggots in most tomato products.
@NoNoNoNii Nah that's anywhere. Does your country have bugs? Then your food is also "full" of nasty shit. It's funny how idiots think us Americans have shit food. Yes I could buy garbage 50 cent trash just like anywhere in the WORLD. But I can also get very high quality food. Maybe you haven't noticed but the U.S is gigantic. We have so much arable land, it's a joke. We have the highest access to very high quality food and we pay the least for it. Only nasty and very poor people buy 50 cent canned meat etc at Walmart.
Sudha Ahuja mixed tomatoes with spices, sent through an industrial sized blender/juicer. Liquid is pressed out with an automated press. Sent to bake in low temp ovens. I couldn’t imagine it would be much different
Tomato stains are UV sensitive, meaning that they become lighter the more UV they come in contact with. Given these tables are outdoors all of the time (assumed) it would explain why they're not permanently stained red.

I was NEVER interested in any of this. I never liked to see how this was made or anything related to this. Well. Thats until this video appeared on my recommended and i watched it. That looks absolutely delicious. I love things with tomato paste on them. I like pasta with tomato paste, i like lasagna, and pizza.
Why are people complaining about it being sun-dried? I guess raisins don't exist. Honestly, it's not as unhygienic as you think it is, at least compared to the trash we throw down our throats here in the modernized world
I’ll take modernized food over insect-ridden, unhygienic, drought stricken food any day. Go ahead and trade that modern trash for the stuff from 300 years ago and see how long you last. India is a good place to try it out
@@user-ke4kz3in9j How come you think we dont have insects in our food? Anything processed will have a ton of insects in it since they just get mulched up together with the veggies.
Phragmochaeta Canicularis no I’m comparing the hygienic standards of western civilization to countries that have not caught up yet. The Ganges river is one of the most polluted rivers in the world, and yet it’s used for drinking water, bathing, and crop irrigation. That kind of ignorance was common place in western society only a couple hundred years ago. I’m saying if you prefer the old ways over modernized farming and cleanliness, try out India and see how far you get.
I have a fixation on tomatoes, I can eat tomatoes all day long and this made me drool. If I was involved in this process, there would be no tomatoes left to make the paste from.
Yulia Potekhina lol i thought i was the only weirdo who can eat a tomato like an Apple.. i like it with salt or maybe even hot sauce if I'm in the mood.. lime is good too
People who keep saying its not hygienic dont know about biology. This might not be a safe process to do with any food. But fermenting and drying foods and other preserving methods are so great because it uses the foods own properties to kill off bacteria and insects.
@@deathspenalty I wish someone could have just said that in the 100 reply thread full of idiots I scanned through, If you know nothing about food processing and biology it's not absurd to think 'Is a wooden table outside overnight hygenic?' but apparently people would rather rip each other apart..
@@iLordNoob I don't think they leave it outside over night... no sun out, so it wouldn't really condense well and also in the video it shows them setting it up again the next morning, unless that was just moving it around the tables. It never said whether it was overnight or not.
As Italian I've never understood why people all over the world think this music makes the video "so much more Italian"... Really we don't consider this kind of music as something traditional...
The worst offender of all was Wheeler Dealer's episode where they come here and buy a Fiat 500. Mike: "Ok so we came here to Torino" *[tarantella intensifies]* _facepalm_
For those complaining about hyigene, this has to be some of the most expensive tomato paste in the world (or it's just locally sold). The majority of it is made in factories.
It's sad that people see something like this and go, "Ewww, sun dried tomatoes" but happily consume food loaded with toxic chemicals and preservatives. Those wooden tables looked super clean, and I didn't see a single fly.
Thanks for taking the time to share this awesome video...... I had no idea that tomato paste was made this manner. I'm making it myself at home but the American way LOL
I love this. I do have a question, though, and please forgive my lack of knowledge, how do you avoid flies and other critters and insects from getting on it?
Very cool video. How do they protect the paste from bugs and other pests? Only asking cause where I live, if I tried that, I guarantee in 20 minutes the table would be covered in bees trying to help me "liberate" the water haha.
Elizabeth Minchilli It's not the bugs you need to worry about. That process must be so risky to everyone's health! Spending hours at room temperature and days being heated by the sun would make that paste teeming with bacteria.
Jamie's RUclips Videos As the above poster said, UV light takes care of the bacteria. Bacteria needs three things to grow well; warmth, moisture, and darkness. You can take away the warmth and it'll just grow slower, like bread in a proofer, or how ice machines in restaurants can still get mold in them. Take away moisture or darkness though, and the stuff just dies. In my area I'd be much more worried about ants/bees, cause tomatoes have plenty of sugar in them. If I spill juice outside on my deck here I don't have to worry about cleaning it in the warm months, it'll look like a scene out of Candyman in an hour.
Actually it is a Mediterranean sauce.We make this in Turkey too,and it named "Salça" in Turkish.Normally; to keep it away from the bugs and bacteria,you have to add lots of salt inside the sauce.So harmful creatures would not want to taste your "Salça" :) But if you do not want to use salt,you should decrease the water level of sauce approximetly under %15-%20 by cooking it extra longer or take it under the sun extra longer.Also you have to protect it by your own effort.
Pallab Dutta It depends. Tomato scent is not rotten fish or meat scent, and it doesen't attract flies so badly. There should be also continuously one of the makers patrolling the surface of the tomato paste with a flabellum (not shown in the video) so then flies are dissuaded to land on tomato paste. The tomato chemistry acid + sugary + salt also is enough so that eggs will not open preventing larvae to spread around... And in the end when putting tomato paste in the jars, then the jars are being boiled last time (not shown in the video). No flies eggs will survive. If you dislike artisancraft made tomato paste for such a reason, you can easily buy any industrial versions of tomato paste that are HACCP controlled.

That looks absolutely delicious. I love things with tomato paste on them. I like pasta with tomato paste, i like lasagna, and pizza.
You should try fire roasted tomato paste too, its pretty good and adds a smokey flavor.
@@adroitbeatbox4809 Nice, thanks for the recommendation. Ill try it late, thanks.
Bro your profile pic matches this too well XD
@@Alexden96Channel y e s
That's incredible! Thanks for sharing.
Why are people complaining about it being sun-dried? I guess raisins don't exist. Honestly, it's not as unhygienic as you think it is, at least compared to the trash we throw down our throats here in the modernized world
@@Dvlx1 I'm sure you'll be fine. How many McDonald's Happy Meals did you eat in your lifetime I wonder...
I’ll take modernized food over insect-ridden, unhygienic, drought stricken food any day. Go ahead and trade that modern trash for the stuff from 300 years ago and see how long you last. India is a good place to try it out
@@user-ke4kz3in9j How come you think we dont have insects in our food? Anything processed will have a ton of insects in it since they just get mulched up together with the veggies.
Phragmochaeta Canicularis no I’m comparing the hygienic standards of western civilization to countries that have not caught up yet. The Ganges river is one of the most polluted rivers in the world, and yet it’s used for drinking water, bathing, and crop irrigation. That kind of ignorance was common place in western society only a couple hundred years ago. I’m saying if you prefer the old ways over modernized farming and cleanliness, try out India and see how far you get.
deathspenalty didn’t say that.
I have a fixation on tomatoes, I can eat tomatoes all day long and this made me drool. If I was involved in this process, there would be no tomatoes left to make the paste from.
Yulia Potekhina lol i thought i was the only weirdo who can eat a tomato like an Apple.. i like it with salt or maybe even hot sauce if I'm in the mood.. lime is good too
Like an apple, cut up, paste, fried or stewed, tomato sauce for pasta, as long it has tomatoes!
I'm addicted to the sweetness
Yulia, will you do the honor of making me your husband?
Rafael Artiga I Kind a wish I was like yeah I’d rather grow than eat them
This is the most italian thing i have ever seen
Where are you from?
@@sezerims yo mamas house
@@medyofloyd8604 nah you'd be cultured if you were
@@sezerims no shit
Tomatos is not italian at all dude. Tomatoes originate from central and south america. Stupid comment.
wow!!! I cannot even imagine how good any recipe would taste with this paste in it!!!!
“Picture it,”
“Scilly”
“1922”
Good old Sophia
The paste is probably fermenting and autolyzing as well, making it safer to eat and more bioavailable
People who keep saying its not hygienic dont know about biology. This might not be a safe process to do with any food. But fermenting and drying foods and other preserving methods are so great because it uses the foods own properties to kill off bacteria and insects.
@@deathspenalty I wish someone could have just said that in the 100 reply thread full of idiots I scanned through, If you know nothing about food processing and biology it's not absurd to think 'Is a wooden table outside overnight hygenic?' but apparently people would rather rip each other apart..
@@iLordNoob I don't think they leave it outside over night... no sun out, so it wouldn't really condense well and also in the video it shows them setting it up again the next morning, unless that was just moving it around the tables. It never said whether it was overnight or not.
Do not forget UV rays... 😀😎🤣🤣🤣
Uh no
As Italian I've never understood why people all over the world think this music makes the video "so much more Italian"... Really we don't consider this kind of music as something traditional...
The worst offender of all was Wheeler Dealer's episode where they come here and buy a Fiat 500.

Wow beautiful way to get oerfect tomato paste thanks for sharring dear🌹👍👌🏻❤
people complaining about the flies ugh, they don’t appreciate the free extra protein
Thanks, may you get those extra proteins in your food

Ikr? Not enough people get that
I got yer extra protein down here
Free micro polpettini ! 😜
For those complaining about hyigene, this has to be some of the most expensive tomato paste in the world (or it's just locally sold). The majority of it is made in factories.
Your comment doesn’t make any sense bruh
@@youngmetro3times849 I'm sorry. I'm saying that most people wont ever eat tomato paste that's been made using this process.
Kyparn and it’s a damn shame, because this stuff probably tastes much better
It's sad that people see something like this and go, "Ewww, sun dried tomatoes" but happily consume food loaded with toxic chemicals and preservatives. Those wooden tables looked super clean, and I didn't see a single fly.
Y'all are complaining about hygiene while I'm just sitting here thinking.. *what about splinters?!*
I think these tables have rounded edges and a smooth surface.
you can see the guy making sure there arent before they put it on the tables
Vanessa that what I was thinking too
Polished and stained
Vanessa , splinters ? You are worried about splinters? How about flies ??
Just wow, I can just imagine the texture and taste of this paste.
"could this paste be Anymore unhygienic"
There u go A complain, to justify people complaining about complaints
Tried to do this outside of Sicily, got an Interpol red notice
Doc my friend
How do you keep flies and other insects away from prep area?
really becky? do you think factories are fruit fly free>?
Petra J No Peter I didn't think that. WTF!
You mean the seasonings? :))
you don't.!!!!
Hire frogs
Thanks for taking the time to share this awesome video...... I had no idea that tomato paste was made this manner. I'm making it myself at home but the American way LOL
I lived in Belpasso Sicily for three years and there were millions of flies. Where are all the flies that would be attracted to this?
On a holiday in France, with their families enjoying themselves.
@@kelptea2703 lmao i love you
no one asked
I have a Geometry test tomorrow, why am I watching this lmao
my man
Ashley Reinhardt the dimensions of the tables are important.
literally nobody gives a fuck
godserens christ dude
IM IN THE SAME SITUATION
I tried this outside of Sicily and I ate it and I turned into a tomato.
I love this. I do have a question, though, and please forgive my lack of knowledge, how do you avoid flies and other critters and insects from getting on it?
RUclips: wanna see how to make Tomato paste in Sicily?
2.9 million people: *Yes*
3 million
👅😀👅👁👅👁 tomato paste
Very cool video. How do they protect the paste from bugs and other pests? Only asking cause where I live, if I tried that, I guarantee in 20 minutes the table would be covered in bees trying to help me "liberate" the water haha.
There actually were't any bugs when I was there.Too hot and dry?
Elizabeth Minchilli
It's not the bugs you need to worry about.
That process must be so risky to everyone's health!
Spending hours at room temperature and days being heated by the sun would make that paste teeming with bacteria.
Jamie's RUclips Videos As the above poster said, UV light takes care of the bacteria. Bacteria needs three things to grow well; warmth, moisture, and darkness. You can take away the warmth and it'll just grow slower, like bread in a proofer, or how ice machines in restaurants can still get mold in them. Take away moisture or darkness though, and the stuff just dies.
In my area I'd be much more worried about ants/bees, cause tomatoes have plenty of sugar in them. If I spill juice outside on my deck here I don't have to worry about cleaning it in the warm months, it'll look like a scene out of Candyman in an hour.
its moist enough anywhere between the surface of the paste and the table. uv doesn't penetrate.
Jamie Reid Typical hygenic-obsessed American. I bet you wouldn’t eat raw eggs.
What do they do with the skins and seeds?
Compost.
sibelius168 compostbun cazzo li strizzi di nuovo e poi lo dai ai maiali e se non capisci usa google transalte
sweet now i can finally fulfill my life long dream of moving to Sicily and making tomato paste!
2017: nope, can't recommend this now
2018: not yet..
2019: no
2020: yep, it's show time.
1:36
Is nobody gonna talk about that stick with a chef as a handle lmao
Question: How do they keep bugs and pests away from the paste on the tables?
They dont lol
@@anonchick4789 So bugs just land on it and they just dust them off or clean it after?
There are no bugs in Italy...
They keep a donkey nearby so it's tail whacks them away
Actually it is a Mediterranean sauce.We make this in Turkey too,and it named "Salça" in Turkish.Normally; to keep it away from the bugs and bacteria,you have to add lots of salt inside the sauce.So harmful creatures would not want to taste your "Salça" :) But if you do not want to use salt,you should decrease the water level of sauce approximetly under %15-%20 by cooking it extra longer or take it under the sun extra longer.Also you have to protect it by your own effort.
That was very interesting thank you for uplaoading this!
Y'all it maybe ain't that hygienic but you have an immune system and this tastes to so good
Fun fact : you did not search for this video.
I did so joke on you
@@momoandcherry1533 you must be awfully satisfied of yourself eh?
it finds you
@@rajpatel-vg4xe =) i just want to know how tomato paste r made
@@momoandcherry1533 liarrrr
The acidity of tomatoes prevents bacterial growth.
Christopher Derrah And UV rays from the Sun made the rest... 😀😎😘
But nothing will stop flies from laying their nasty eggs.
Pallab Dutta It depends. Tomato scent is not rotten fish or meat scent, and it doesen't attract flies so badly. There should be also continuously one of the makers patrolling the surface of the tomato paste with a flabellum (not shown in the video) so then flies are dissuaded to land on tomato paste.
The tomato chemistry acid + sugary + salt also is enough so that eggs will not open preventing larvae to spread around...
And in the end when putting tomato paste in the jars, then the jars are being boiled last time (not shown in the video).
No flies eggs will survive.
If you dislike artisancraft made tomato paste for such a reason, you can easily buy any industrial versions of tomato paste that are HACCP controlled.
Pallab Dutta Yes, flies typically lay eggs in rotten, decaying materials and faeces, not fresh tomato paste.
@@PallabDutt Flies don't lay eggs in acid you idiot lol
I like the way you made the tomato paste
