Family Tomato Jar

The Family Tomato Jar is made for cooks who reach for sun-dried tomato flavour more than once a week. It gives you a larger jar for pasta, sandwiches, roast vegetables and quick pan sauces, with delivery by courier across South Africa.

Family Tomato Jar

A larger jar for everyday tomato cooking

The Family Tomato Jar is our larger format for people who cook with sun-dried tomato preserve often. It is packed in Paarl from local farm produce and suited to home kitchens, guest houses and small catering counters that want a handy jar on standby.

The texture is thick enough to spoon into a sauce or spread straight onto toast, but still easy to stir through warm dishes. It works well when you want steady flavour without opening several small jars through the week.

  • Made for regular cooking use
  • Suitable for pantry storage and busy prep areas
  • Easy to portion with a spoon or butter knife
  • Useful for home meals, hampers and hospitality orders

Sizes and pack options for home and bulk use

We offer the Family Tomato Jar in a practical larger size for households that use sun-dried tomato frequently. It is a good fit for cooks in Paarl, Cape Town and Stellenbosch, and also for courier delivery to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha.

When ordering, check whether you need single jars, mixed gift packs or a repeat order for a subscription box. If you are packing hampers or event favours, it helps to decide early how many jars you need per table, tray or guest bag. This saves time later on and keeps your packing neat.

  • Family-size jar for regular use
  • Single-jar purchases available
  • Gift box and hamper pairing options
  • Bulk and hospitality orders on request

Where the Family Tomato Jar suits best

This jar suits cooks who like a quick flavour base for weekday meals. It works in homes, small cafés, guest kitchens and farm stays where tomato preserve is used in more than one recipe each week.

It is especially useful in kitchens that need a dependable pantry item for load-shedding days, because it adds flavour fast once the stove is back on. No power or gas is needed for the product itself, only for the cooking method you choose.

  • Pasta sauces and baked tray dishes
  • Toast toppings and savoury scones
  • Stuffed chicken, fish or vegetables
  • Pizza bases, braai sides and salad dressings

What to check before you order

Before ordering, look at how often you use sun-dried tomato and how many people you usually cook for. A larger jar is better if you are making family meals, stocking a guest kitchen, or packing corporate hampers with food items that feel practical and useful.

Check the jar size, the number of units you need, and whether you want a plain order or something tied to a specific occasion. If you are sending it to multiple addresses, make sure each delivery name and suburb is entered clearly. Small details matter when couriers are working across different towns and estates.

  • Confirm jar size and quantity
  • Choose single, mixed or bulk packing
  • Check delivery suburb and recipient details
  • Decide if the order is for home use, gifting or resale

Care, storage and everyday servicing

Keep the jar sealed until you are ready to use it, then store it in a cool dry cupboard away from direct sun. In coastal areas such as Durban or Gqeberha, a closed pantry helps protect the product from heat and moisture swings, especially in summer.

Use a clean spoon each time and wipe the rim before closing the lid. If the jar is part of a hospitality counter or shared kitchen, label the opening date so staff know what is in use. The product itself does not need servicing, but good handling keeps the flavour and texture pleasant for longer.

  • Store in a cool dry place
  • Keep the lid tightly closed
  • Use clean utensils only
  • Check the jar before every new service period

Delivery, courier handling and special orders

We courier the Family Tomato Jar nationwide, with regular deliveries to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha. Orders leave from Paarl, and packing is done so jars travel securely with other pantry items, gift boxes or bulk hampers.

If you are ordering for weddings, corporate gifting or seasonal events, let us know the date you need stock by. That way the order can be matched to the right packing run and delivery window. It is worth double checking aaddress details too, especially for estates, office parks and farm stalls where access rules can differ.
