San Marzano tomatoes are widely recognized by top chefs, foodies, Italian cooks and food aficionados as the gold standard for taste, but what makes them so special? San Marzano tomatoes get their name from the town where they were born, San Marzano sul Sannio, which is located in the Campania region of southern Italy. Characteristics of San Marzano tomatoes include a thicker tomato wall, fewer seeds, and less acidity than other tomatoes, making them ideal for authentic Italian cuisine.
