Every meal tells a story, and at Gousto, that narrative starts long before the ingredients reach your doorstep. Each carefully selected component of your meal kit embarks on a journey steeped in precision, freshness, and care. Let’s follow the odyssey of a single ingredient – a ripe, juicy tomato – as it travels from the farm to your dinner plate.
Rooted in sustainable farming
The journey of Gousto’s tomato begins in the hands of a dedicated grower. Sourced from trusted British farms committed to sustainable practices, these tomatoes are cultivated using techniques that respect the land and nurture its bounty. Farmers focus on seasonal growth, ensuring the produce ripens naturally under the sun, developing its full flavour and nutritional value. No shortcuts are taken here – just a steadfast commitment to excellence.
Picked at peak perfection
Timing is everything when it comes to freshness. Each tomato is harvested at the optimal moment, preserving its rich taste and texture. Within hours of being picked, it’s carefully packed to retain its just-picked quality. The packing process is meticulous, with a focus on reducing handling to maintain the tomato’s pristine condition.
