San Marzano - Gustarosso
San Marzano - Gustarosso
Something we're really proud of is being able to offer San Marzano tomatoes from the star producer Gustarosso that we personally select. For each harvest, we test the best fields and the best picking dates, and that's where our tomatoes come from. In other words, we work our butts off to give you the best possible tomatoes :)
The tomatoes we chose this year come from a field right in the middle of Sarno, and they were harvested on July 27th. The relatively early date is due to the warm weather around Naples, which favors an earlier harvest. On the back of the can, you can see the batch number and our logo, and then you know that the tomatoes have been selected by us personally.
About the tomatoes themselves: What we look for are tomatoes that are fully ripe but still retain acidity - that's it. That's exactly what you get with these San Marzano tomatoes from the farmer cooperative Gustarosso. The tomatoes are sweet and flavorful, while still having a certain tartness.
