Tomatoes San Marzano D.O.P 12/28oz

Genuine San Marzano tomatoes are only grown in the rich, volcanic soil in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius. Traditional farmers hand-plant, stake, and pick the vine-ripened tomatoes daily while in season. They are very delicate and can only be handled in small quantities. Unlike other tomatoes, they are not mechanically picked and are harvested in limited quantities for the discerning customer and chef.

Genuine San Marzano tomatoes are required by law to contain the "DOP" seal (Denomination of Protected Origin). This ensures that these tomatoes are from the Saranese-Nocerino area and are grown from original, San Marzano seeds. Vitelli imports only genuine Italian San Marzano tomatoes and guarantees that they are the best quality canned Italian Pear Tomatoes in the world.

Origin: Saranese-Nocerino, Italy
