Description
Mutti San Marzano DOP tomatoes 400 g – for Neapolitan pizza sauce
Mutti San Marzano DOP are San Marzano tomatoes grown in the area between Rome and Naples, near the foot of Vesuvius. The volcanic soil gives the tomatoes their own flavour and quality. The DOP mark shows that the tomatoes come from this defined area.
San Marzano tomatoes are elongated, with firm flesh and few seeds, and give a rich, concentrated tomato flavour. They are naturally low in acidity, so they work well in sauces without much adjustment. That makes them a natural choice for authentic Neapolitan pizza sauce.
