Raw materials
We use only top-quality ingredients
Dried fruit
We collect it personally from trusted growers and store it under controlled humidity. The whole fruit is cold-treated so as not to disperse the essential oils and to maintain the organoleptic characteristics for a long time. Our pistachio is truly Sicilian!
Eggs
Only fresh pasteurised eggs. Not dehydrated, as in many industrial preparations. Our eggs undergo several cross-checks and are treated according to the highest principles of hygiene, sanitation and safety.
Flour
We only use top-quality certified flour, delicious and controlled. We pay great attention to grains, even to those of the highest quality. Our wholemeal “tortina” really do contain 100 per cent wholemeal flour. We don't use blends, we don't like percentages.
Flavourings
Be careful when you find this 'ingredient' on labels. It often hides chemical elements and preservatives. In Tomarchio products, the flavourings are natural. That means they come from the fields and not from laboratories. You can taste the difference!
We personally purchase many of our products from trusted growers. That is to say, they are 100 per cent Sicilian or in any case Italian products. For us, territoriality is fundamental because it allows us to contribute to the development of the local economic fabric. We focus on quality, short supply chains and territoriality.
Our products undergo various quality and safety cross-checks. We have the latest technology to analyse each product and the eyes and hands of specialists who have been working for many years to keep our quality standards always on the threshold of perfection. You can always be sure: a Tomarchio pastry is good and healthy.
We process the ingredients with great care. Dried fruit, for example, arrives at the plants whole and not chopped. It is cold processed, without overheating the product, so as to preserve essential oils and organoleptic characteristics. We also pay the utmost attention to hygiene. Every instrument is sanitised on a daily basis.
Everyone talks about quality. We take action!
Size matters
We have short labels that we show off, because we have nothing to hide. Few ingredients, all of great quality. We don't need anything else to enhance the flavours because the raw materials are excellent. Give it a try: check our label and count the ingredients! You will find the ones you would also use yourself.
Keep time
Our “tortina” has a short shelf-life, as do our pastries. This is because we do not fill them with preservatives, but use fresh and good products. We guarantee you a soft and healthy product, but not forever! Would you offer your children a cake that you baked a long time ago?
