Description
San Marzano Tomatoes DOP is a variety of tomato that is cultivated and valued in the agro sarnese nocerino area. The tomato was introduced to Europe after the discovery of America; the Spanish initially introduced it as an ornamental plant, and its name was changed from "tomate" to "pomo d'oro." In the 1700s, it arrived in Italy, specifically as a gift from the Kingdom of Peru to the Kingdom of Naples, where it was planted in the area of the municipality of San Marzano. The San Marzano Tomato DOP is cultivated using techniques that do not allow for massive mechanization; in fact, the cultivation technique is vertical, with the plant developing on supports, allowing the tomato to remain intact without touching the ground. Pairings: The San Marzano Tomatoes DOP from the Agrigenus cooperative are a product that lends itself to being used in a variety of Italian dishes that involve the use of tomatoes. Sublime when used on pizza. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
