Sundried vs Semi-Dried Tomatoes: What's the Difference?

November 4, 2026 Honest to Goodness

Sundried and semi-dried tomatoes are an easy way to add Mediterranean flavour to everyday meals. But what's the difference? It mainly comes down to their texture, moisture content and flavour. Here's how to choose the right one for your kitchen. 


What Are Sundried Tomatoes? 

Sundried Tomaotes

Sundried tomatoes have more moisture removed during drying, giving them a firmer, more compact texture and a rich, concentrated flavour. 

Absolute Organic's Organic Sundried Tomatoes in Oil are made in Italy and seasoned with organic garlic, oregano, parsley, basil and capers. Preserved in sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil, they're ready to enjoy straight from the jar. 

Try them in: antipasto platters, bruschetta, pasta, salads and homemade pizzas. 

What Are Semi-Dried Tomatoes? 

Semi-dried Tomatoes

Semi-dried tomatoes retain more moisture, giving them a softer, plumper texture and delicate, aromatic flavour. 

Absolute Organic's Organic Semi-Dried Tomatoes are made in Italy and seasoned with organic garlic, parsley and basil. They're preserved in sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil, making them a handy addition to everyday meals. 

Try them in: salads, pasta, bruschetta, pizzas and sharing platters.
