convenience in a can. love it

veronique   [ottery WC ] 4 Sep 10
 

Love the garlic and the curry flavour. Very convenient and great tasting.

Theresia  [Bergbron GT ] 30 Aug 10
 

these are very nice cheap and convenient i like to use them when making mince.

yolanda  [east london EC ] 17 Aug 10
 

I add this to my pasta and mince...always a hit :)

Natalie  [Pretoria GT ] 8 Aug 10
 

Have tried all other brands but Koo is the only one for me

Rennette  [Cape Town WC ] 8 Aug 10
 

I used the curry flavoured one and it was very tasty, will make sure it is on my shopping list again.

Sarah  [Wilro Park, Roodepoort GT ] 16 Jul 10
 

Absolutely love the beef flavour - use it in my pasta's

Sharlene  [Pretoria GT ] 8 Jul 10

the original tomato paste is great the glass bottle one has not been on the shelf for months the tin

I have not been able to get the bottle either, why have they stopped producing it? I find it inconvenient to buy the tin.

Jennifer  [Sunward Park, BOKSBURG, 1470 GT ] 2 Jul 10
 

I love the beef flavour.

Vanessa  [Nelspruit MP ] 22 Jun 10
 

I don't like the new flavours. I am sticking with plain tomato paste. Do love the original

sumire  [Mayfair-West GT ] 2 Jun 10
 

Well, I have always used Koo tomato paste but have one comment about these new ones. The Beef flavor made my mince taste like mutton. I discontinued using it.

Ernest  [ Ezulwini - Swaziland MP ] 2 Jun 10
 

Great product; especially when used in lasagne or bolognaise.

Vanessa  [Pretoria GT ] 30 May 10
 

the original tomato paste is great the glass bottle one has not been on the shelf for months the tins are fine but one has to use the entire tin where the bottle one can keep in the fridge

ramola  [westville KN ] 18 May 10
 

I love the original tomato paste, but do not know the new flavours. Would love to try them. Depending on the recipe, I find sachets and tins equally satisfying.

Rietha  [Kakamas NC ] 29 Apr 10
 

I bought this product once to test with my home made Mac and cheese. My husband LOVED it!

Clarisse  [Groenkloof GT ] 7 Apr 10
 

I only use Koo Tomato Paste. Always a few in my grocery cupboard.

Dianne  [Durbanville WC ] 7 Apr 10
 

Good product to use. i love lavender.

Charlotte  [Roodepoort GT ] 31 Mar 10
 

I prefer the little puree sachets... seems to be more eco friendly than a metal can for such a little portion

Mandy  [Hout Bay WC ] 20 Feb 10
 

Very good. Always have it in my cupboard.

Lynn  [Pinetown KN ] 19 Feb 10
 

I use this product regulary and am never without a tin it is great to use in a selection of dishes. It thickens and gives great flavour to dishes.

Ruth  [Simons Town WC ] 19 Feb 10
 

never used it. Have not even seen it yet. Will definitely try it as i will only buy KOO tomato paste

CHANTAL  [Fish Hoek WC ] 19 Feb 10
 

I love the new flavoured tomatoe paste, I would never have known about it had it not been for the home tester club. Thanks

Kim  [Uvongo KN ] 16 Feb 10
 

never used it before, but would like to try it

Bongiwe  [Durban KN ] 11 Jan 10
 

I've started to read labels and try to avoid excess colourants, msg and artificial sweeteners (aspertame, sodium cyclamate) and generally anything that's claim to fame is being "light".

I don't buy Koo products since they started adding colourants to peas etc. I also noted that their tomato paste has added msg, I know msg is a natural product of tomatoes but adding more seems like a bit too much.


Barco   [Tweespruit FS ] 6 Jan 10
 

The only Tomato i love is the plain to be honest - i don't like the added flavours as it does not mix well with my indian spices. Maybe it's just me ;)

sumire  [Mayfair-West GT ] 15 Nov 09
 

Both DH and I hated the beef taste! Even the kids too.

Lize  [Noordheuwel x4 GT ] 11 Nov 09
 

I cannot cook without my paste, I've tried the beef in a soup this week-end and it was delicious

  [ KN ] 20 Oct 09
 

Never used before

Luzenn   [Mamre, Cape Town WC ] 14 Oct 09
 

Never used before

Luzenn   [Mamre, Cape Town WC ] 14 Oct 09
 

I am a lover of pasta, and fresh tomatoes is pricey, so it works out cheaper to buy in a tamatoe paste in a tin. Have not tried the curry flavour,? sounds interesting...

natasha  [Tableview WC ] 14 Oct 09
 

I love this product. I really gives that something extra special in pasta's and stews. It is a must on my shopping list every month

Abby  [Stellenbosch WC ] 29 Sep 09

Great Product for many home cooked meals. Instead of adding sugar add a grated carrot and it brings out the best in the meal.

Ruth  [Simons Town WC ] 23 Sep 09
 

I like it. But you have to put in a dash of sugar. Don't know why but it tates beteer after a dash of sugar. Don't know abot the garlic one though because i am allergic to garlic.
Koekoe

Koekoe   [Coligny NW ] 23 Sep 09
 

I really love your new products - especially the garlic one.
Sue (Durban)

Sue  [Highland Hills KN ] 22 Sep 09
 

I don't like the taste - prefer to use fresh garlic.

Celeste  [N1 City WC ] 8 Sep 09
 

I just love KOO tomato paste. I didn't know there were other flavours. I will definately look out for them next time I go to the shop.

Maria  [Potchefstroom NW ] 4 Sep 09
 

it is the best you can do-no more messing

EVELINE  [PINELANDS WC ] 18 Aug 09
 

8 it's got lots of flavour

Janine  [Johannesburg GT ] 16 Aug 09
 

I really like it ,its quick and easy and very tasty.

Carmen  [Cape Town WC ] 14 Aug 09
 

Use the plain tomatoes in about every dish that I make. Will defenitlytry the Garlic and the beef with my next lasange or bolonaise - KOO is by far the best quality on the market

Maggie  [Cleveland GT ] 7 Aug 09
 

Only use Koo - always in my grocery cupboard

maree  [edgemead WC ] 6 Aug 09
 

adds leka flavour to my curry

Akhtar  [Durban, Overport KN ] 5 Aug 09
 

I love to use tomato paste when making bolognaise. its especially nice when you cook for people who don't like pips and seeds

Tanya  [brentwood park port elizabeth EC ] 5 Aug 09
 

Koo tomato paste - very convenient product, love the new flavours :-)

veronique   [ottery WC ] 4 Aug 09
 

A staple in my grocery cupboard! Great colour and flavour intensity and healthy too - what a bargain!

Jo-Anne  [Wellington WC ] 30 Jul 09
 

Love the new flavours.

Dina  [Durbanville WC ] 29 Jul 09
 

I bought the the Koo tomato paste wih garlic last month, but my hubby said he prefers the plain one - I agree about the self opening lid though as the tin opener does not open those little cans too well - or a sachet would be great too

Kerrie  [Somerset West WC ] 27 Jul 09
 

will have to try it! seems its getting rave reviews!

abbi  [Somerset West, Cape Town WC ] 24 Jul 09
 

Always on my grocery list. Although, I prefer buying the sachets.

Susan  [somerset west WC ] 23 Jul 09
 

Can someone please explain what is the difference between the tomatoe puree and the paste?
Sandie

sandie  [Olympus GT ] 23 Jul 09
 

I bought a tin of the Koo Tomato Paste with the garlic and what a flavour it gave my pasta dish I will buy it again

  [ ] 22 Jul 09
 

I love the convenience been a working Mum and getting home late we can eat within 30-45 minutes and still have a wholesome/delicious meal and best of all the Kids love it.

Bernie  [Eldorado Park GT ] 22 Jul 09
 

I love the product ....well done

Dolores   [Rondevlei Park WC ] 22 Jul 09
 

An absolute must have in any pantry!!

Tara  [Sea Point WC ] 21 Jul 09
 

Love this product

Silvana  [Townsview/Johannesburg GT ] 20 Jul 09
 

I have not tried this particular product, but will add it to my shopping list as I always cook with garlic and I use beef stock cubes or a spoon of curry powder. Great idea!

Debbie  [Durban GT ] 20 Jul 09
 

I have not tried this particular Koo product as yet, but I think that it is about time that someone thought of adding these exciting flavours to the usual tomato paste. Well done. Will add to my shopping list.

Colleen  [Heidelberg GT ] 20 Jul 09
 

i havent tried this KOO product yet.

Rochelle  [Amanzimtoti KN ] 20 Jul 09
 

Although I usually use paste and add my own ingredients, I do like this innovation, especialy as we like to camp a lot and this saves the packing space. I did enjoy the taste of the beef falvour and wil try the others in future.

Kim  [Clareinch WC ] 15 Jul 09

Please seal the can with a self opening lid (one that you pull open with you finger), so that you do

I really agree with this request, a self opening lid will be great!!

Esmè  [Orange Grove GT ] 13 Jul 09
 

This is convenient and will add it to my shopping list, especially good when you don't have the ingredients in the house, taste is also good.

Esmè  [Orange Grove GT ] 13 Jul 09
 

The new product is good but please ask KOO when are they going to ditch thoses small tins in favour of sachets.?We all know the price of tinned goods has risen due to the price of metal that is used.I nearly always buy All Gold as I prefer the sachets,they are about half the price and easy to store

linda  [edgemead GT ] 13 Jul 09
 

I think it is really so easy especially when you are a working woman. If you feel like cooking something quickly it is so ideal to use.

Jolande Karen  [Newlands West KN ] 13 Jul 09
 

Koo Tomato Paste makes the best Lasagne sauce!
You all have to give it a try...i do add quite a bit of sugar to give the sweet / sour taste - but its wonderful!

Cindy  [Strand WC ] 13 Jul 09
 

Wonderful invention for a caravan cupboard to spice up food when space for umpteen spices is limited.

Linda  [Lynnwood Ridge GT ] 11 Jul 09
 

Always a great product to have in your cupboard for emergencies. Good in lamb stews. Does not make the stew sour - only adds flavour.

Lourentia  [Kyalami GT ] 10 Jul 09
 

Great, Koo is always the best you can do...

Roxxy  [Kuilsriver WC ] 8 Jul 09
 

didn't know that there was other flavours our store only stocks the normal tomato paste

Chantal  [Parow WC ] 7 Jul 09
 

I have tried the garlic and the curry flavour and found them both very flavoursome. I am not keen on trying the beef one.

Kim  [Bluff KN ] 3 Jul 09
  Quoting:: Elsje [Lynnwood, Pretoria GT ]
I dont know the flavoured tomatoe paste but the orginal one's works fantastic when you make curry

I also use the original and have done for about 30 years, it is great in a lasangne and to add to pasta, and great to have it in the cupboard readily available.

Sally  [DURBAN KN ] 3 Jul 09

Elsje  [Lynnwood, Pretoria GT ] 3 Jul 09
 

I love the way it adds to the flavour when you make pasta sauce.

Hester  [Milnerton Cape Town WC ] 1 Jul 09

Louisa  [Parow Valley, Cape Town WC ] 29 Jun 09

emerelda  [cape town WC ] 24 Jun 09
 

I have only tried the unflavoured onse and love to use for pizza and pasta and spaghetti bolognaise, the garlic flavoured one should be perfect for this as well.

I have to say- I love the idea of tomato paste in a tube!!!! About the flavour it's what we grew up with: IT'S JUST GREAT!!!!! And I will be trying the new flavours.

Michele (Cape Town)

Michele  [Duynefontein. Melkbos WC ] 9 Jun 09
 

I will definitely give all the new flavours a try. I wish that tomato paste came in a tube, I think that it would stop a lot of waste as I dont always need a whole can for a meal.

Rose  [Durbanville WC ] 8 Jun 09
 

This adds that extra "something" you always look for, it is wonderful

Georgina  [General Alberts Park, Alberton GT ] 6 Jun 09
 

I like to test it . Something new and different from the old taste to add to pastas ect.

Cindy (Breyten)

I agree

Mary  [Cape Town WC ] 25 May 09
 

This month i tried the Garlic Flavour and it does wonders to my stews.Absolutely a marvellous idea.

Lisa   [Retreat WC ] 19 May 09
 

Please seal the can with a self opening lid (one that you pull open with you finger), so that you don't have to use a can opener on it. It is a very small can and it can be a dangerous in the kitchen when you are struggling to cut it open.

Benita  [Pinehurst, Durbanville WC ] 19 May 09
 

im 54 and as long as i remember my mom used this product and it was alwys finger licking good

I have always used the Koo Tomatoe Paste since I got married as it was something I learnt from my own mother and always loved the stunning flavour and colour it added to her spaghetti bolognaise. I'm very excited to try out the new flavoured varieties and will definitely add these to my shopping list!

Jo-Anne, Franschhoek

Jo-Anne  [Wellington WC ] 11 May 09
 

The garlic flavour will definitely be added to my monthly shopping list....Great taste, not too much garlic.
