Tomato San Marzano

Tomato San Marzano is a true Italian classic, cherished by chefs and gardeners alike for its exceptional texture and full-bodied flavour. Unlike common slicing tomatoes, this variety is long, meaty, and contains very few seeds, making it one of the best choices for slow-simmered sauces and homemade passata. Its low acidity and natural sweetness mean you can skip the sugar and let the tomato shine on its own.

The plants themselves are productive and vigorous, often yielding heavy clusters of plum-shaped fruit well into the late season. San Marzano thrives in warm, sunny spots and appreciates rich, well-drained soil. With a bit of staking and regular harvesting, it will reward you with a steady stream of high-quality fruit.

From the garden to the kitchen, this tomato is all about flavour and function. Whether you’re preserving summer’s bounty or just craving a better sauce, San Marzano delivers the goods. It’s a must-grow if you value taste, tradition, and a bit of Italian flair in your veggie patch.
