Plant seeds
San Marzano tomatoes are undoubtedly a highlight of the tomato world. History has it that the first San Marzano seed arrived in Italy in 1770 as a gift from the Viceroyalty of Peru to the Kingdom of Naples. They were first cultivated in the village of San Marzano sul Sarno and have since become known as the "most important industrial tomato of the 20th century." With their firm, thick flesh and sweet flavor, this variety has proven perfect for the production and export of pelati (canned peeled whole tomatoes), which have become popular all over the world. Indeed, pizza and pasta wouldn't be the same without these distinctive, pointed, bright red fruits. Here's a nano, or dwarf, variety of this important celebrity!
