The San Marzano tomato is covered by the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) and it is only cultivated in the area of the Agro Sarnese - Nocerino, where also the company Manfuso Srl is located. The production of the tomato San Marzano DOP preserves is the flagship of the company that tins this precious type of tomato since 1983. The San Marzano DOP tomato has an ancient tradition of cultivation, a longer shape than the normal tomato with a bright red colour, a firm and fleshy pulp and a bittersweet taste. The cultivation and transformation is characterized and protected by a strict production protocol and by the Consortium of San Marzano DOP tomato, which protects its cultivation that must be on rows as in ancient times and its harvesting must be done manually. Then the San Marzano DOP tomato must be only transformed in entire peeled tomatoes or fillets. Due to the nearby fields of cultivation of this type of tomato, Conserve Manfuso Srl tins the San Marzano DOP tomatoes after a few minutes after their harvesting, after having peeled them fresh and adding natural tomato juice obtained only from the squeezing of other San Marzano DOP tomatoes. There is a long history connected with this tomato: it can be eaten with pasta, meat and fish or on a pizza, but you can do nothing other than give pleasure to your palate for its unmistakable taste and recognize that it is a great gift of our region. The Manfuso Tomato S. Marzano DOP in 2.5 kg can size is a typical product for Ho.Re.Ca. (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering). They are canned in white lacquered tins BPA NI.
