The ultimate starting point for any Italian tomato sauce, our Salsa Madre (Mother Sauce) celebrates the pure flavors of Puglia's peak summer tomato harvest. Crafted with sun-ripened Apulian tomatoes, fresh basil, and a hint of salt, this uncooked sauce preserves the bright, fresh flavors of its ingredients. Use it unadorned for a rustic pasta topping or pizza sauce, or as a base for your own signature sauce - seasoning it with garlic, onions, herbs and spices to taste.
Perché Ci Credo tomato sauces are homemade using only top quality ingredients: onion, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, tomatoes, ricotta cheese, and vegetables.
Add to your “soffritto” of onion or garlic in olive oil and cook for 15-20 minutes. Drain your pasta al-dente and add pasta to the sauce. Toss in pan while continuing to cook. Add grated cheese and serve.

Supreme Customer Service
Within hours of me placing an online order, The Oil Tree called to let me know they hadn’t applied a particular discount that I was owed, and would be refunding me the difference. They also called to verify if it was in-store pick-up or if I needed it shipped, and then shipped the product to me next day at no additional charge as they hadn’t enabled a shipping option on the online shop at the time of my purchase. None of these steps were necessary and I would have been happy to pay full price and pay shipping, but the accountability and speed-to-connect was so impressive to me. I would certainly purchase from The Oil Tree again based simply on their business principles. As a bonus, my husband loved the book when it came in :)

Unbelievably scrumptious! Totally elevates roasted veg making them a fav entree. Might be a touch pricey but totally worth it?

This is my favorite balsamic. I love pouring it in club soda for a refreshing drink after I walk.
