(Dell' agro Sarnese-Nocerino). The Pomodoro di San Marzano, now grown in the soils around Naples, was first brought over from Spain in the sixteenth century, but it was not until the eighteenth century that the tomato began to be used as a typical ingredient of Neapolitan cooking. The San Marzano ecotype is grown specifically for transformation into peeled tomatoes and is the only type cultivated in the Agro-Sarnese-Nocerino area. The soils in this area are among the best in the entire country. The volcanic ash from nearby Mount Vesuvius combined with the rich earth of the pre-Apennine hills have created a fertile terrain with very special physical and chemical qualities. As for the climate, the area enjoys the beneficial influence of the sea air. The Pomodoro di San Marzano is very closely associated with its geographical area of production where it is widely cultivated by small-scale growers then transformed, peeled and canned by local industries. The growing area encompasses numerous town districts in the provinces of Naples, Salerno and Avellino. D.O.P stands for 'Denominazione d'Origine Protetta' (protected denomination of origen). The mark is guaranteed by the European Union and was created to promote the authenticity and artisan characteristics of certain food and agricultural products. All D.O.P. products are inexorably linked to their place of origin, and many are household names, such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. We work closely with the importer of these fine tomatoes, so our tomatoes are always as fresh as they could possibly be.

The nature of the flat rate box is that of trying to get a maximum amount of product into into a fairly small box. Of necessity less padding and insulation can be used. We try to ship items that we think will survive fairly well shipped this way but minor damage may occur during shipment like slightly dented cans or cracked outer bars in a chocolate order or slightly crushed cookies boxes etc. We do not guarantee flat rate box orders against heat damage or other slight damage as we have described. So please do not use this shipping option for chocolate, cheese or other heat sensitive items during the summer if you live in a hot location, or if you are concerned about the item arriving in pristine condition.   We accept credit cards via Paypal.
