Tomatoes & Pasta Sauces

San Marzano Tomato and basil sauce

Description
The authentic San Marzano tomato grows exclusively in the Vesuvius Valley. Sun-drenched and grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil, it reveals all its sweetness and low acidity. Paired with the fresh fragrance of basil, this sauce embodies the very essence of Italian cuisine: simple, pure, and flavourful.

Uses
Perfect for classic Italian dishes: spaghetti, penne, gnocchi, or lasagna. Also great over meatballs, stuffed vegetables, or stirred into a tomato risotto. Don't throw away all your pasta cooking water: it's a good idea to add a bit to your sauce. Mix in ¼ to ½ cup (or a ladleful) cooking water with the sauce before adding the pasta. The salted, starchy water will enhance flavours and thicken the sauce, helping it stick to the pasta.

Distinctive attributes
Made with 82% San Marzano tomatoes, this sauce features naturally sweet flavour, perfect balance, and a fresh herbal finish from basil. Cooked in small batches to preserve every nuance of flavour.

Artisan
Prepared by the Napoletano family, this sauce is crafted using time-honoured techniques. Every ingredient is carefully chosen to preserve the recipe’s authenticity.
