Description
San Marzano tomatoes are a variety of plum tomatoes known for their elongated shape, thin skin, and dense, low-seed flesh. Originating in the volcanic soils near Mount Vesuvius in Italy, they have a distinct sweet, rich flavor with mild acidity and umami notes. These tomatoes are prized for making sauces, pastes, and purees, particularly in Italian dishes like pizza and pasta. Their unique taste is a result of the specific climate and soil conditions, and authentic San Marzanos are protected by PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certification.
