Please welcome Christina Conte, creator of Christina’s Cucina, to our #LittleItalyPodcast, talking to us about Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP tomatoes. In other words, not all tomatoes are created equal, and this is the real deal.
Christina has dedicated her work to discussing Italian cuisine, ingredients, preparation, and even desserts, like the rhubarb bread pudding with orange custard currently you featured on her website. OMG! Today, we speak to her about the Pomodoro San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP tomatoes. In other words, the king of all tomatoes, a staple in any authentic Italian restaurant and kitchen.
A little background. The San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP has been growing for over 300 years in the Provence of Salerno. The tomato was a gift from the Viceroy of Peru to the Bourbon King of Naples back in the 1770’s, and it’s considered the best of the best because it grows in a Mediterranean rich volcanic soil saturated in potassium and phosphorus. It’s to die for.
