San Marzano DOP Tomatoes, Fontanella (400gr)

San Marzano DOP tomatoes are Italy's most famous tomatoes and the only protected appellation for a reason. The San Marzano variety is grown all over Italy and beyond, it is not the variety that makes them unique, it is where they are grown, the terroir. The DOP San Marzano tomatoes are grown in a small area at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, which has proved, due to the characteristics of the soil, volcanic, to produce the sweetest, bursting with flavour and rich in vitamins tomatoes. San Marzano DOP tomatoes are without a doubt, sweeter than normal tin tomatoes. Not only, being a DOP appellation, no acidity regulator is allowed contrary to normal tin tomatoes.

Because of their sweetness, San Marzano DOP tomatoes have become a sought after ingredient from chefs and food lovers and are used for pizzas and tomato based dishes. Whether a simple Margherita or a properly made Bolognese sauce, these San Marzano DOP tomatoes will transform the dish.

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.
