Bruschetta Seasoning

Tomato flakes, sun dried into concentrated sweetness, take center stage in our complex, savory Bruschetta Seasoning. Bulked up by aromatic onion and garlic, this seasoning blend keeps us on our toes with the warming touches of mustard and paprika. It’s kept fragrant by the addition of Mediterranean herbs that lend an airy pepperiness to this blend, and it’s rounded out by unexpected notes of bright celery, whimsical clove, and just a touch of heat. Our Bruschetta Seasoning is blended in our facility in small batches, to ensure that our quality and freshness remains intact.

Bruschetta—pronounced broo-SKEH-tuh—is derived from the Italian word bruscare which means "to burn" or "to heat in a fire". Legendary cookbook author Marcella Hazan believed that bruschetta's origins could be traced at least to ancient Rome, but was probably adopted by Rome from the Etruscans, who lived in central and northern Italy circa 768 BCE-264 BCE. Bruschetta are toasted or grilled before being rubbed with garlic and dressed with olive oil and other toppings. Food historians tell of the Romans testing the quality of freshly pressed olive oil by smearing it on a piece of fire-toasted bread for tasting. They also speculate that the oil-soaked bread was first rubbed with a clove of garlic as a way to enhance the flavors of the oil.
