Sustainable Fields Whole Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes, 90 Ounce

In the foothills of Mount Vesuvius, there is land so rich in organic substances and minerals that when combined with the nearby Mediterranean Sea, provides some of the best soil in the entire country of Italy. This soil is where San Marzano tomatoes thrive, giving chefs the best sauce tomatoes in the world. When compared to the more common Roma (Plum) tomatoes, the San Marzanos have thicker flesh, fewer seeds, and a more robust flavor. This bright red tomato, whose name denotes both its origin and variety, is harvested only by hand due to its delicate nature. The San Marzano is picked, peeled, and packed during the height of the season, usually from August to September. So prized are they, that in 1996, San Marzano tomatoes were granted Protection Designation of Origin status by the European Union. Only cans that display the DOP designation are guaranteed to be genuine San Marzano tomatoes. The high quality of our tomatoes ensures that whether you use them in sauces, gazpachos, or soups, you will be exceptionally satisfied with the sweet, potent tomato flavor.
