San Marzano tomatoes are known for their elongated shape and vibrant red color. Renowned for their sweet, rich flavor and smooth, meaty texture, these tomatoes come from the fertile volcanic soils near Mount Vesuvius.
Their low acidity and few seeds make San Marzano tomatoes ideal for sauces and pastes. Their dense flesh and balanced sweetness contribute to their popularity among chefs and home cooks.
Versatile in the kitchen, they are perfect for tomato-based sauces, soups, and stews, and also great for roasting, grilling, and creating high-quality canned tomatoes for year-round use.
