In Calabria, summer was measured in bottles. How many you had filled, how many you had put away in the cellar, how many you would open through the winter. La pumata was the gesture of August: tomatoes gathered, the fire lit, jars lined up on the table, hands red from work and sun. It was the way the season was kept for the cold months.
 

 
'U Sucu brings together four Calabrian tomato preserves, all different, all made with tomatoes from Calabria. It isn't a random selection: it's a whole pantry shelf, boxed up.
 

 
The 720ml Tomato Passata
 
The classic passata, the one that goes with everything. Made with Calabrian tomatoes, thick, with a scent that recalls the kitchen at home when something is simmering slowly on the stove. Used as a base for ragù, for pizza, for the tomato pasta that always seems too simple and yet never is, when the tomato is the right one.
 

 
The 660ml Tomato Passata
 
Same tomato, different size. For those who use it in small amounts, or want to open it for lunch without too much left over. Same quality, same origin, same care in the making.
 

 
Calabrian Cherry Tomato Sauce
 
The cherry tomato has an acidity and sweetness the classic passata doesn't have. It's brighter, more immediate, suited to dressing dishes without much cooking. Used on bread, on bruschetta, as a quick pasta sauce. It's the sauce for anyone who wants the taste of fresh tomato even in winter.
 

 
Yellow Tomato Sauce
 
Calabrian yellow tomato always surprises. It has a different sweetness, softer, without the acidity of red. Those who don't know it taste it with curiosity, those who do wait for it. It pairs well with mozzarella, with cheeses, with fish. But even on its own, on bread, it's worth the trip.
 

 
How to enjoy it
 
Open them, taste them, compare them. There's no set order. There's only the bread, the wish to understand the difference between one passata and another, and the time to do it. This pack is made for those who cook, for those who want real ingredients to use through the week, not something to leave in a drawer.
 

 
Who this pack is for
 
It's the right pack for those who love cooking with preserves made the way they used to be. For those who look for Calabrian tomato and can't find it at the supermarket. For those who want to give something useful and genuine, something that comes into the kitchen and stays there. For those who grew up with the scent of summer's pumata and want to find it again at any time of year.
 

 
'U Sucu comes from Altomonte, in the province of Cosenza. Every product comes from producers Braalla knows personally, chosen among those who still work the way it used to be done: with seasonal tomatoes, with the time it takes, with no shortcuts.
