Originally from the Campania region of Italy in the 1770's this Italian classic is one of the best paste tomatoes. It has good yields of large, 9 ounce red plum shaped tomatoes that enhance traditional Italian dishes. San Marzano has tart flavor, firm pulp, a low seed count, and easily removed skin. For this reason it is widely used in pizzas, pastas, and for canning or drying. The long blocky fruits have a small seed cavity that can be scooped out leaving all the dense tomato meat, this means less boiling to get a tasty thick paste.
Indeterminate.
