San Marzano

San Marzano refers to a specific type of tomato native to the San Marzano region in Italy. Known for their sweet flavor, low acidity, and fleshiness, they are often considered some of the best tomatoes for sauces. San Marzano tomatoes are distinguished by their elongated shape and bright red color. They are frequently used in Italian cuisine, particularly in pasta sauces and pizza. Authentic San Marzano tomatoes are grown in a designated area near Naples and are protected by a Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) status, ensuring their quality and geographical origin.
