A good tomato sauce starts with good tomatoes and very little else. Italianavera's traditional whole peeled tomatoes are packed in tomato juice, giving you a flavorful, uncomplicated starting point for pizza, pasta and slow-cooked Italian dishes. Their soft texture makes them easy to crush by hand while leaving the rustic tomato pieces many cooks prefer.

For Neapolitan-style pizza, crush the tomatoes gently, season with sea salt and add only enough packing juice to make a thick, spoonable sauce. For pasta, simmer with olive oil and garlic, or let them develop slowly in a ragù. The generous 2.5 kg can is especially useful for pizza nights, restaurants and batch cooking.

Ingredients: Whole peeled tomatoes, tomato juice, citric acid (acidity regulator).

Storage: Keep unopened in a cool, dry place. After opening, transfer unused contents to a covered food-safe container, refrigerate promptly and follow the package directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these tomatoes without cooking them for Neapolitan pizza?

Yes. Crush the peeled tomatoes gently by hand or with a food mill, then season to taste. For pizza, a thick, spoonable sauce usually works better. We recommend draining the packing juice, then adding it back in a little bit at a time if needed.

Should I keep the tomato juice in the can?

For pasta sauce, ragù, or braising, the juice adds flavor and can go straight into the pan. For pizza, start with the tomatoes and add just enough juice for the texture you want.

How are these different from Padre San Marzano DOP tomatoes?

These are Italianavera’s traditional whole peeled tomatoes. Padre is the San Marzano DOP option, made with tomatoes from the protected growing area. Both suit pizza and pasta.

Roughly how many pizzas can I sauce with a 2.5 kg can?

This can should provide enough tomatoes for 30+ pizzas, assuming typical usage. Using a heavier layer will reduce the yield.

Do I need to season them before using them for pasta?

Yes- add salt, garlic, basil, olive oil, or other seasonings to suit your dish, and simmer only as long as you need for the texture you prefer.
