The San Marzano Tomato originated from San Marzano Sul Sarno, Italy and has less seeds than most tomatoes. These elongated, plum-shaped heirloom tomatoes transition from green to a brilliant, mouthwatering red. The plants grow to about 4 to 6 feet tall and are high-yielding. The versatile fruits, range from 3 to 4 inches. The flavor profile of San Marzano tomatoes is often described as sweet, rich, and less acidic compared to many other tomato varieties. Similar to a Roma, but while Roma tomatoes can be slightly more acidic and have more seeds, though they are still a good choice for sauce making depending on your desired flavor profile. They are well-suited for various culinary applications, especially in Italian cuisine. Whether used fresh in salads or cooked into sauces and pastes, the distinctive taste of San Marzano tomatoes is a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
