Long equated with the cuisine of southern Italy, the tomato was actually a gift of the New World to the Old, brought to Italy for the first time after Columbus’s voyages to the Americas.Tomato cultivation is centered in the compania region, where the rich volcanic soil and intense Mediterranean sun provide optimal growing conditions. The San Marzano has become the darling of professional chefs and home cooks around the globe because of its vibrant color and exquisite flavor—sweet, but with a characteristic bite. Moreover, the San Marzano’s firm flesh, low seed count, and skin that slips off easily makes it ideally suited to preservation by canning.
