San Marzano tomatoes are grown in the fertile volcanic plains of the Agro Sarnese‑Nocerino region of Campania, Italy, where the unique soil and climate produce tomatoes with deep red colour, sweet, rich flavour and low acidity compared with ordinary plum tomato varieties. These tomatoes are peeled and packed whole in their own juice, making them an exceptionally versatile pantry staple ready to use in sauces, stews, soups, casseroles or as the base for classic Italian dishes like Neapolitan pizza sauce and pasta al pomodoro.
