These locally grown products emphasize freshness, seasonality, and low-carbon transportation, supporting sustainable agricultural development and reducing reliance on imported food.

Tomato San Marzano is a popular type of tomato known for its rich, sweet flavor and meaty texture. This tomato variety is perfect for making delicious sauces, soups, and stews. With its high content of vitamin C and antioxidants, it's a great choice for a healthy diet. Elevate your cooking with Tomato San Marzano.
Heirloom plant conservationist Amy Goldman Fowler calls the San Marzano "the most important industrial tomato of the 20th century"; its commercial introduction in 1926 provided canneries with a "sturdy, flawless subject, and breeders with genes they'd be raiding for decades". Although commercial production of the San Marzano variety is most closely associated with Italy, seeds for the variety are available worldwide. It is an heirloom variety. Canned San Marzanos, when grown in the Valle del Sarno ('Sarno Valley') in Italy in compliance with Italian law, can be classified as pomodoro di San Marzano dell'agro sarnese-nocerino and have the European Union PDO emblem on the label.
Most San Marzano tomatoes sold commercially are grown in Italy, although they are produced commercially in smaller quantities in other countries. Because of San Marzano's premium pricing, there is an ongoing battle against fraudulent product. On November 22, 2010, the Italian Carabinieri confiscated 1,470 tonnes (1,450 long tons; 1,620 short tons) of improperly labelled canned tomatoes worth €1.2 million.
San Marzano tomatoes, along with pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio, have been designated as the only tomatoes that can be used for vera pizza napoletana ('true Neapolitan pizza').
