Tomato paste is an essential component of delicious dishes.

Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to increase the shelf life of this delicious sauce.

The simplest option involves adding a small amount of vegetable oil to the jar, which must then be tightly closed.

Simply spread the paste into silicone ice cube trays and place in the freezer.
