San Marzano sauce

San Marzano sauce is a flavorful Italian tomato sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes, a variety known for its sweet, rich, and low-acid profile. Grown in the volcanic soil of the San Marzano region near Naples, these tomatoes have thicker flesh and fewer seeds, resulting in a smooth, deep-tasting sauce. Typically prepared with garlic, olive oil, basil, and salt, San Marzano sauce is prized for its balanced acidity and intense tomato flavor, making it a popular choice for authentic Italian dishes like pizza and pasta. Its quality and distinct taste elevate any dish with a bright, robust tomato flavor.
