Reggano Pizza Sauce 14 oz

Reggano Pizza Sauce in the 14 oz (397g) glass jar is a thick, herb-infused tomato base designed to provide the foundational flavor for homemade pizzas. As a staple brand for Aldi, it is engineered for high viscosity, ensuring it stays in place on dough without making the crust soggy during the baking process.

Flavor & Texture Profile

The Reggano experience is defined by "concentrated tomato sweetness and an Italian herb finish":

• Heavy-Bodied Consistency: Unlike thinner pasta sauces, this pizza sauce is "tight" and smooth, allowing for a thin, even spread across the dough.

• Sweet Tomato Base: The core flavor comes from red-ripe tomato puree, which offers a mellow, non-acidic sweetness that caramelizes slightly in high-heat ovens.

• Aromatic Herb Blend: Infused with classic dried Italian seasonings—primarily Oregano, Basil, and Garlic—giving it a traditional "pizzeria" scent.

• Smooth Mouthfeel: The sauce is finely pureed to avoid large chunks, ensuring every bite of pizza has a consistent distribution of flavor.

Core Ingredients

The ingredient list focuses on concentrated tomato solids and savory seasonings:

• Tomato Puree: Water and tomato paste.

• Sugar: Used to balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes.

• Soybean Oil: Provides a silky texture and helps the sauce brown.

• Salt: Enhances the savory herb and garlic notes.

• Spices: A proprietary blend including Oregano, Basil, and Onion Powder.

• Citric Acid: Used to maintain color and freshness.

Energy & Nutritional Profile

Pizza sauce is a relatively low-calorie condiment, though it contains moderate sodium and sugar. A standard 1/4 cup (63g) serving typically provides:

Key Characteristics

• Ideal for High Heat: The high sugar and oil content in the sauce are specifically formulated to withstand the 400°F–500°F temperatures of a pizza oven without burning or drying out.

• Resealable Glass Jar: The 14 oz size is perfect for making 2–3 medium pizzas, and the jar allows for easy storage in the refrigerator if the entire container isn't used at once.

• Versatile Dipping Sauce: Because of its thick texture and heavy seasoning, it doubles as an excellent dipping sauce for garlic breadsticks, mozzarella sticks, or calzones.

• Gluten-Free: Like most tomato-based sauces, Reggano Pizza Sauce is naturally gluten-free.

Usage Tip: The savory, herbal notes of this sauce make it a unique "flavor anchor" when paired with nutty snacks. If you are enjoying a handful of Southern Grove Cashew Halves & Pieces, a side of pizza sauce for dipping can create a "pizza-flavored" snack experience, as the creaminess of the cashews mimics the flavor of melted cheese against the tomato and oregano.
