PROVENANCE

San Marzano Tomatoes P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) are grown exclusively in Italy, in the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino area of Campania, between Naples and Salerno. Cultivation and processing follow the official production specification, which strictly regulates origin, methods, and timing. Each can is individually numbered and approved by the San Marzano Consortium, ensuring full traceability and compliance with the P.D.O. standard.

PREPARATION

Open the can and transfer the tomatoes to a bowl. Crush by hand, with a fork, or using a simple pass-through mill, keeping a coarse, natural texture. This method preserves freshness and body, making the tomatoes ideal for raw or lightly seasoned pizza sauce. Avoid blending, which removes structure and reduces control on the pizza base.

COOKING TIPS

  • Designed to be used raw or lightly warmed for pizza applications.
  • Season minimally — San Marzano Tomatoes P.D.O. require little to no correction.
  • Avoid cooking at high heat before use; the oven will complete the process on the pizza.
  • Use aromatics sparingly (salt, olive oil, basil) so the tomato remains the focus.
  • Their low seed count and balanced moisture help prevent excess water release during baking.
  • Suitable for both Neapolitan and contemporary pizza styles, including high-temperature ovens.

COOKING IDEAS
The benchmark tomato for Neapolitan and gourmet pizza, traditionally crushed fresh and applied raw. Also suitable for lightly cooked tomato sauces where balance and authenticity are required, including classic Italian preparations beyond pizza.

COOKING TIME

  • Pizza sauce (raw or lightly warmed): no pre-cooking required
  • Lightly cooked sauces (if needed): 10–20 minutes
  • Long-simmered sauces: use only when required by the recipe

YIELD / SERVINGS (FOODSERVICE)
One can yields approximately 35–50 pizza portions when used as a crushed tomato base, depending on pizza style and portioning.

STORAGE
After opening, transfer unused product to a food-safe non-metal container, refrigerate, and use within 3–4 days. Suitable for freezing in portioned quantities for up to 3 months.

PACKAGING
