Seeds - Tomato (San Marzano)

The legendary Italian sauce tomato! San Marzano is a classic plum tomato prized for its rich flavor, meaty flesh, thin skin, and relatively low moisture content. It is widely regarded as one of the finest tomatoes for making sauces and is traditionally associated with the cuisine of Naples, including Margherita pizza and Neapolitan ragù.

This indeterminate variety produces vigorous plants with good disease resistance and an extended harvest. The plum-shaped fruits typically reach 5–6 ounces and have dense, meaty flesh that makes them especially well suited for cooking, canning, and preserving.

San Marzano has been cultivated in Italy for generations. While many commercial growers have transitioned to hybrids better suited for mechanical harvesting, San Marzano continues to be treasured by home gardeners and cooks who prioritize traditional flavor and quality.
