At the Mutti booth, visitors can see and handle our four core products: Fine Cut Tomatoes, Whole Tomatoes, Tomato Purée, and Tomato Paste.
By examining the packaging formats as well as the texture and concentration of each product, buyers can clearly understand quality differences that are difficult to convey through catalogs alone.
In particular, our Fine Cut Tomatoes, produced using Mutti’s unique cutting process, will be available for tasting.
Visitors can experience the fresh, natural tomato flavor achieved without the use of citric acid, and directly appreciate the difference in taste and quality.
Through this hands-on and tasting experience, buyers can easily envision in-store merchandising ideas, product positioning, and key selling points after introduction.
The booth also presents Mutti’s versatile tomato lineup, highlighting opportunities for both retail and foodservice applications and effective product differentiation.
*Mutti products are already available in Japan.

Mutti is a premium canned tomato product made with an exceptionally generous amount of tomatoes: 1 kg of product is produced from 5 kg of raw tomatoes.
It is made using the patented Fine-Cut Tomato Method, which avoids the conventional pre-heating and peeling step. Instead, the tomato parts are separated while preserving the tomato’s original umami. Compared with typical canned diced tomatoes, it contains a higher proportion of solid pieces with a finer, more uniform texture, making it highly versatile in cooking. (As a canned product, it is heat-sterilized after sealing.)
The flavor highlights the tomato’s natural sweetness, and it tastes surprisingly fresh—almost like raw tomato—when eaten straight from the can. No additives are used, including no citric acid, which is commonly added to create acidity.
The tomatoes are Rotondo di Parma, grown in the heart of Parma, Italy, where the warm climate and fertile soil provide ideal conditions. This variety has been selected and refined for over a century on Mutti’s own farms and is known for its thick flesh and perfectly balanced juiciness. It delivers both richness and texture, retains
