From supported plants to peeled tomatoes
The approved tomatoes are grown with vertical supports and picked by hand when fully ripe, between July 15 and October 15. Processing includes washing, sorting, peeling and canning; the peeled fruit may remain whole or be cut into strips.
Try it in the kitchen
Our suggestion: choose whole peeled tomatoes when you want to decide how far to break them down in a sauce; choose strips for a different starting texture. The protected name refers to this processed product, rather than to any fresh tomato sold under the variety name.
Recognize the protected name
For a purchase tied to this origin, look for the full name “Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino” with the PDO indication. A similar name or variety alone does not establish this protected origin.
