La Valle San Marzano Tomatoes

Filed under: Tomatoes Make the Sauce — joe @ 4:58 am

Geno from La Valle foods told me that the Italian Goverment has cracked down on the use of San Marzano on the label if it does not have the numbered stamp and D.O.P on the label. Too many companies were useing the name and the tomatoes were not from that area. So, check your labels to see if you are getting the real thing.
