San Marzano Tomatoes PDO (Agro Sarnese-Nocerino)
Whole peeled San Marzano PDO tomatoes packed in thick, smooth San Marzano purée with a basil leaf — the elongated, intensely red Vesuvian variety, no preservatives.
Notably sweeter, fleshier and less acidic than ordinary canned tomatoes, with few seeds; thick flesh holds up in cooking, rounded by a subtle basil note.
The Neapolitan choice for pizza sauce; ideal for tomato-based pasta sauces, passata, and slow braises and ragù thanks to the meaty, low-seed flesh.
No major allergens in the listed ingredients.
Recipes change — always check the label before buying for an allergy.
Favuzzi
Favuzzi is the Montreal fine-foods house that built its name on a single promise — "The Artisan's Way" — sourcing Italian staples from the families who still make them by hand. These tomatoes come from the Napoletano family in Sarno, Campania, working by near-artisanal methods with deep respect for tradition. San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino has carried PDO protection since 1996: the long, slender, intensely red fruit can only earn the name when grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, where a mild climate gives it its signature sweetness. Hand-picked and packed in their own purée, they are the variety Naples reaches for.
