The maker

Martelli

In Canada these tomatoes carry the Martelli name through Martelli Foods Inc., the Mississauga importer behind the brand's blue-label Italian pantry line. The fruit is the real thing: San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP, grown only in the volcanic plain at the foot of Vesuvius and held to strict Italian standards before it can wear the DOP seal. Prized as the "queen of tomatoes," it is defined by a velvety orange-red flesh that breaks down into the silky base Neapolitan cooks build their pizzas and sauces on.
