These days, it is commonplace to find sun-dried tomatoes in just about every sector of the savoury food industry; from dips and dressings to pizza and bread, even ketchup!
The reason for this is that the sun-dried tomato is now seen as a fundamental ingredient by the food industry, such has been its popularity with consumers who have grown to recognise it as a premium product.
But oh how different things were back in the early nineties. This is when famous TV Chef, author and football club director Delia Smith really started the ball rolling, using the humble sun-dried tomato in just about every episode of her popular TV series.
As housewives followed her lead and clamoured to buy sun-dried tomatoes from delicatessens to impress their dinner guests, the quality supermarkets quickly saw the potential of this new product and started to stock them.
The industrial bakers were the first in the food industry to exploit the great potential of the sun-dried tomato, using it to add value to bread to meet the ever increasing public demand for something a little different.
The rest is bread history, with Foccacia, Ciabatta and a whole range of Mediterranean and ethnic breads now readily available.
 The value of sun-dried tomatoes has been identified by the food industry as a whole and Gordon Jopling Food Ingredients has led the way developing a wide range of sun-dried tomato pastes with varying oil and seasoning profiles, tailor made marinades, sauces, pasteurised re-hydrated pieces for high care applications…the list is endless.
