San Marzano tomatoes, renowned for their unrivalled and certified quality, are the traditional tomatoes used for Neapolitan style pizza. These delectable tomatoes, also known as "pomodori pelati" or "peeled tomatoes," are exclusively grown in a small, picturesque region surrounding Naples. This variety has earned the prestigious DOP designation from the EU, which guarantees its precise cultivar, processing method, and designated region for cultivation.
San Marzano tomatoes are celebrated not only for their unrivalled quality but also for their exceptional flavour. Their sweet and slightly tangy taste, coupled with a subtle low acidity, sets them apart from other tomato varieties. The dense, meaty flesh and fewer seeds make them a perfect choice for creating rich and velvety tomato sauces, a sought-after and staple ingredient for both chefs and home bakers.
