The taste of
San Marzano
The San Marzano tomato is often referred to as the queen of Italian tomatoes because it is known for its relatively low moisture content and strong, spicy flavor. This makes it popular in numerous dishes.
As for the history of this particular tomato, we see that it originated in the small town of San Marzano sul Sarno, which in turn is near Naples, Italy. Since then, the tomato has been praised for its unique properties.
Are you curious about the taste of this special tomato? Fortunately, you can find them year-round at the Tomato Hut.

about this tomato
San Marzano tomatoes have a centuries-old Italian tradition dating back as far as the 18th century. These tomatoes are characterized by their unique elongated shape, thick flesh and intense flavor. This makes them not only a favorite, but also a symbol of Italy's rich culinary tradition.
Over time, these tomatoes have spread throughout the world, often earning praise from chefs and foodies. They play a particularly important role in the preparation of classic Italian dishes, such as pizza and pasta. Moreover, they contain fewer seeds and little moisture, making them ideal for making flavorful sauces and tomato paste.
