San Marzano Tomatoes, Fontanella (400gr)

San Marzano tomatoes are Italy’s most iconic tomato variety and the only one awarded DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) status - guaranteeing authenticity, origin, and unmatched quality. Grown exclusively in the fertile volcanic soil of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino region near Mount Vesuvius in Campania, these tomatoes are celebrated for their naturally sweet flavor, low acidity, firm flesh, and rich aroma.

Unlike ordinary tomatoes, San Marzano DOP tomatoes are hand-harvested and traditionally preserved - peeled and canned whole to retain their pure, natural taste. Their unique balance and dense texture make them ideal for slow-cooked sauces, soups, pizza toppings, and classic Italian dishes like Neapolitan ragù, Margherita pizza, lasagne, and Bolognese.

Beloved by chefs and passionate home cooks alike, San Marzano tomatoes are a staple in authentic Italian cuisine and a must-have for anyone serious about Mediterranean cooking.

Cook with the best - choose San Marzano DOP tomatoes for genuine Italian flavor and quality.

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.
