Whole, peeled DOP San Marzano tomatoes from Italy’s agricultural heartland.
San Marzano tomatoes are as integral to the identity of Naples as a pizza! Fleshy, with few seeds and low acidity, these tomatoes are lower in salt than regular canned tomatoes and consistently superior in flavor.
In 1996, the European Union granted these tomatoes the DOP status (Denominazione d'Origine Protetta), which guarantees their regulation for quality. Grown in the volcanic soil from nearby Mt. Vesuvius under the warm Neapoletan sun, these tomatoes are hand-picked and packaged by the Andolfo Brothers who have been canning the harvest of the Campania region since 1946.
Use these fine tomatoes on pizza, as a base for your favorite pasta sauce or stirred into a decadent risotto.
