San Marzano tomatoes are widely recognized by top chefs, Italian cooks and food aficionados as the gold standard for taste. Cento goes to great lengths in monitoring the planting, growing and harvesting processes to ensure their tomatoes retain the world-renowned flavor that makes them so special. Cento is the only United States brand that owns its production facility in the Sarnese Nocerino area of Italy, literally in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. The rich volcanic soil, high water table and ideal Mediterranean microclimate all combine to make San Marzano tomatoes the premier choice for any recipe.
