4. Tomatoes: Chef Dan Richer & Mutti Pomodoro

Dan Richer, Chef & Owner of Razza Pizza Artigianal, details the art of tomatoes and how the ingredient is key to pizza making. He breaks down the variation among tomatoes from California to Italy and the several components he looks for when tasting tomatoes: color, viscosity, texture, seeds and skins, quantity, positive flavor attributes, negative flavor attributes, acidity and sweetness. Kim West of Mutti Tomatoes USA discusses the Italian company’s legacy spanning four generations, expanding their goods in U.S. markets and with top chefs, and how they sustain their renowned high-quality products.Follow @danricher @razzanj @muttipomodorousa @ingredientinsidersThis episode is sponsored by Mutti Pomodoro USA @muttipomodorousahttps://mutti-parma.com/us/In partnership with The Chefs' Warehouse, a specialty food distributor that has been purveying high-quality artisan ingredients to chefs for over 30 years @wherechefsshophttps://www.chefswarehouse.com/Produced by HayNow Media @haynowmediahttp://haynowmedia.com/
