Sustainable Fields Whole Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes, 90 Ounce

In the foothills of Mount Vesuvius, there is land so abundant in organic compounds and minerals that when combined with the neighboring Mediterranean Sea, offers some of the very best soil in the whole nation of Italy. This soil is where San Marzano tomatoes prosper, providing chefs the very best sauce tomatoes in the world. When compared to the more typical Roma (Plum) tomatoes, the San Marzanos have thicker flesh, less seeds, and a more robust taste. This bright red tomato, whose name denotes both its origin and range, is gathered just by hand due to its fragile nature. The San Marzano is chosen, peeled, and loaded throughout the height of the season, generally from August to September. So treasured are they, that in 1996, San Marzano tomatoes were approved Protection Designation of Origin status by the European Union. Only cans that display the DOP designation are ensured to be authentic San Marzano tomatoes. The high quality of our tomatoes makes sure that whether you use them in sauces, gazpachos, or soups, you will be incredibly satisfied with the sweet, powerful tomato taste.
