Sustainable Fields San Marzano Red Tomatoes, 14oz- 6 Pack

Sustainable fields whole peeled san Maranon tomatoes, 14 oz. In the foothills of mount Vesuvius is land rich in organic substances and minerals that when combined with the nearby Mediterranean sea, provide some of the best soil in the entire country of Italy. This soil is where san Maranon tomatoes thrive, giving chefs the best sauce tomatoes in the world. Compared to the more common roma (plum) tomatoes, the san Maranon have thicker flesh, fewer seeds and a stronger, less sweet and acidic taste - bittersweet, like great chocolate. This bright red tomato, whose name denotes both its origin and variety, is harvested only by hand due to its delicate nature. The san Maranon is picked, peeled and packed from august through September, sometimes later. So prized are they, that in 1996, san Maranon tomatoes were granted protected designation of origin status by the European union and only cans that display the dop designation are guaranteed to be genuine san Maranon tomatoes.
