Both our blends start with using San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy.  

San Marzano tomatoes are widely recognized by top chefs, foodies, Italian cooks and food aficionados as the gold standard for taste, but what makes them so special? The San Marzano tomatoes we use are grown under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, where the fruit flourish in the Mediterranean climate, and the region's nutrient rich, volcanic soil. San Marzano tomatoes get their name from the town they were born, San Marzano sul Sarno, which is located in the Campania region of southern Italy. Characteristics of San Marzano tomatoes include a thicker tomato wall, less seeds and less acidity than other tomatoes, making them ideal for authentic Italian flavor. 

San Marzano tomatoes thrive in the designated area of Italy because of the Mediterranean microclimate, high water table, and fertile volcanic soil. Truly authentic San Marzano tomatoes from Italy adhere to strict conditions and guidelines in terms of their growing, selection, and processing. Certified San Marzano tomatoes must be obtained from plants of the same ecotype, grown within a specific territory allowed in Italy, and contain characteristics that comply with standards set in Italy. Sourced and manufactured clean, quality ingredients utilizing traditional artisan, fresh-pack preserving methods that have been in place for generations.
