Gusta Sun-Dried Tomato Pate

Opened this for a last minute appetizer and spread it on toasted baguette with a few chopped olives. It saved the whole plate. The tomato flavor is concentrated and savory, not sugary, and a small amount goes a long way. The texture has enough body to stay on the toast instead of running everywhere. I used what was left two nights later by stirring it into hot pasta water and then folding in spaghetti. Nothing fancy, but dinner tasted like I had planned it. Jar was packed well too. Would happily keep one in the pantry.

I put this out on toasted bread when two friends stopped by and had zero plan for food. It tasted deeply tomato-y and savory, and the texture spread easily without running off the toast. One friend added a little cheese on top, the other ate it straight from the jar with a cracker. i stirred the last couple spoonfuls into hot pasta with cooking water the next day... honestly a GREAT emergency lunch. The jar was packed securely and opened without any leaking oil. Will keep one around for nights when dinner needs to look more thought out than it was

Spread this on toasted bread for friends and the whole plate was gone before dinner. The tomato flavor has a deep savory edge and a little goes a long way. i also stirred the last spoonful into warm pasta with a splash of cooking water... instant lunch. Jar arrived secure and the texture was smooth enough to spread without turning runny. Already put another one in my cart because this is exactly the kind of pantry shortcut I actually use

lid had loosened and oil got over everything. what was left tasted sharp and salty. couldnt serve it, wont order again

Opened this when friends dropped by and spread it on toasted baguette with a little cheese. thats it, appetizer handled. The tomato flavor is deep and savory, and the texture is smooth enough to spread without being baby-food mush. One friend stood at the counter scraping the last bit from the jar. Will keep another on hand

Opened this when friends came over and spread it on toasted bread with a little soft cheese. salty, savory, a tiny bit sweet from the tomatoes... everyone kept going back. The jar looked small when it arrived but the flavor is concentrated so we didnt need much. Would buy again for a last minute appetizer.

Had friends over with almost no warning and spread this on toasted baguette with a little chopped parsley. That was it. Everyone kept asking what else was in it. The tomato flavor is concentrated and savory, not sugary, and the texture is smooth enough to spread without dripping everywhere. The jar looked small when it arrived but a little goes further than I expected. next time im trying it inside a grilled cheese bc that sounds ridiculous in the best way

Bought this pate for crostini before friends came over. I sampled it while setting up and kept going back, so the serving bowl looked suspiciously small by dinner. Salty, concentrated tomato flavor and easy to spread. Ordering two next time bc apparently I cannot be trusted with one jar

Spread this on toasted bread when two friends stopped by without warning. Added a little cheese and everyone thought i had planned ahead... nope. Tangy, savory, and the jar was scraped empty

Bought this for an antipasto board and honestly expected the leftovers to sit in the fridge. They didnt. The first night we spooned it onto toasted bread with a little cheese. The next day I spread it inside a turkey sandwich, then used the last bit to loosen up a quick pan sauce. It has a concentrated tomato taste and a savory finish, so a small amount goes a long way. Texture is smooth enough to spread but not watery. The jar arrived wrapped well with no leaking, and the lid popped normally when opened. My partner said it was the best thing on the board, including the cheese that cost twice as much... rude but accurate. I will buy two next time bc one jar vanished way too fast

Bought this for crostini and ended up spreading the leftovers on a turkey sandwich the next day. Bright tomato flavor, smooth enough to spread, still has some texture. jar was smaller than i pictured but a little goes far

Spread this on a turkey panini with provolone and it made the whole thing taste planned instead of fridge-cleanout. strong tomato flavor, a little tangy, very easy

doesnt blow me away but its a good spread. smooth texture, concentrated tomato, nothing technically wrong. just didnt feel like it was worth ordering again when i can make something similar at home

im putting this on everything. eggs. sandwiches. pasta. crackers. gifting to everyone. send help

The jar itself is nice and the lid seals well. Kept the open jar in the fridge for almost two weeks without any quality change. The pate surface stayed fresh. Good packaging for a product that you open and close repeatedly.

This is quite strong. On a cracker with some cheese it is exactly right. Used directly as a pasta sauce without diluting it was a bit much for my taste. Once I learned to treat it as a component rather than the main event it became very useful.

Good. Repeat purchase.

I have used this on pizza as the base instead of tomato sauce (excellent), as a spread on a turkey sandwich (excellent), thinned as a pasta sauce (excellent), and as part of a bruschetta topping (obviously excellent). This is the most versatile jar I keep. Runs out before anything else in my pantry.

and i had to know what it was. she told me. i ordered it. that was nine months ago and ive ordered it four more times since. good tomato flavor, smooth texture, does exactly what it promises.

Toasted bread. Thin layer of this. Soft goat cheese on top. Drizzle of olive oil. That is an appetizer. It takes four minutes and people think you prepared.

Third jar. Use it every week. Have started keeping a backup.

I was out of sauce one night, found this in the pantry, thinned it with a bit of pasta water and olive oil, tossed it with spaghetti. I have made this intentionally six times since. Best pantry-rescue move I know.

the tomato flavor is overwhelming. i know thats kind of the point with a pate but it was too much for me. used a tiny bit on crostini and it was ok but i couldnt taste anything else. not my thing

I use this as the pizza base on homemade pizza about once a week. The flavor is deep in a way that no canned tomato sauce can replicate. The concentrated tomato thing is exactly what a pizza base needs. Guests always mention the pizza before anything else at dinner.

I bring a cheese board to every gathering I go to. Adding this next to a wedge of sharp pecorino elevated the whole spread. People kept coming back to that side of the board.

I expected to use this only on bruschetta. Then I used it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Then I thinned it with olive oil and used it as a pasta sauce. Then I spread it on a flatbread. I have used this jar in six different applications and it has been good in all of them.

There is nothing subtle about this pate. The sun-dried tomato flavor is dense and present. A small amount goes a long way. I use it as a base on sandwiches before adding anything else and it transforms the whole thing.

it was fine. good tomato flavor. spread easily. my issue is that for the price i expected something more distinctive. tastes like a good quality product but not a life-changing one

What makes this better than just mincing sun-dried tomatoes is the smooth texture. It distributes evenly, adheres to things, and does not create a chunky situation on a bruschetta or a pizza. The flavor is intense in the best way.

the intensity can catch you off guard. once i started using it as a layer under other things rather than the main event it clicked. on its own it is quite bold. as a supporting player it is great
