San Marzano Tomatoes, Fontanella (400gr)

San Marzano tomatoes are not just Italy’s most famous tomatoes, they are the only tomato variety with DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) status, a protected designation of origin, and for good reason.

While the San Marzano tomato variety is grown in many places across Italy and even internationally, what truly sets the authentic San Marzano DOP tomatoes apart is the land they’re grown on. These prized tomatoes are cultivated exclusively in a small area at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, where the volcanic soil - rich in minerals - nurtures tomatoes with exceptional sweetness, low acidity, and a firm, meaty texture. This unique terroir gives them a distinctive flavor profile packed with vitamins and bursting with natural taste.

San Marzano DOP tomatoes are hand-picked and traditionally processed to preserve their rich, authentic flavor. Renowned by chefs and home cooks alike, these tomatoes are a staple in Italian cuisine. From a classic Margherita pizza to a hearty Bolognese sauce, they elevate every dish they touch.

For authentic Italian cooking, nothing compares to the depth of flavor and quality of San Marzano DOP tomatoes, a symbol of culinary excellence.

Fontanella is a family that has been cultivating and selecting the best Italian tomatoes since 1957.

Passion and experience are their values. Fontanella selects the fields in which to grow the best quality tomatoes and they work them as our grandparents did, using the same tools they were using, smell and touch.

All their tomatoes, not only the San Marzano DOP, come from Italy, from the sunny southern Italian regions, and only the best and ripe tomatoes end in their tins. The secret of any tomato based sauce is in the ripeness of the tomatoes, if the tomatoes are ripe the resulting product is sweet and do not need anything to balance the acidity, any sweetener, needed when the tomatoes are unripe. Fontanella is a true and authentic italian family before a company, and with each tin, they bring only the best Italian tomatoes.
