Few tomatoes are as closely associated with Neapolitan cooking as San Marzano. Italianavera's Padre range features organic whole peeled Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP tomatoes, grown within the protected production area and preserved in their juice. The DOP designation identifies a specific origin and production standard, not simply a tomato described as San Marzano-style.

Crush them by hand for an uncooked Neapolitan pizza sauce that keeps the tomato front and center, or simmer gently with olive oil and basil for pasta al pomodoro. Their peeled texture also works beautifully in lasagna, ragù and other slow-cooked dishes where a smooth, rich tomato base matters.

Ingredients: Whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes (60%), San Marzano tomato juice (40%).

Format: Glass jar. Keep unopened in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening and follow the package directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Padre different from tomatoes described as “San Marzano-style”?

Padre carries the San Marzano DOP designation. That identifies tomatoes from the protected growing area and production tradition, rather than a tomato marketed only as a similar shape or style.

How would you prepare Padre for Neapolitan pizza sauce?

Crush the peeled tomatoes gently by hand or with a food mill, keeping some pulp rather than blending them completely smooth. Add packing juice gradually until the sauce is easy to spread without pooling on the dough.

Can I also use Padre for a cooked pasta sauce?

Absolutely. Break up the tomatoes in a pan with a little olive oil and cook to your preferred consistency. A shorter simmer keeps a fresher tomato character; a longer simmer produces a thicker, more concentrated sauce.
