LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday,
October 17 is National Pasta Day!
Let's celebrate with pasta & tomatoes: theirs is a marriage
made in heaven--they could never divorce because they love each
other so much. And the moment you open a can of tomatoes it
suddenly hits you: this, THIS, is delicious!
Of course, they must be the most delicious tomatoes. For a
joyous plate of pasta in its cloak of delicious tomatoes, we
recommend Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro
Sarnese-Nocerino DOP.
This "Crown Jewel" of luscious tomatoes captures the
taste and tradition of their culinary culture. Red juicy tomatoes,
perfectly sweet, full of tasty umami: a tomato like no other. But
why canned you might ask? Why not eat fresh, in season?
The reasons are both delicious and healthful. San Marzano
DOP is a unique tomato, whose taste is captured when heated and
canned rather than raw. When harvested for the can, tomatoes are
picked at the peak of ripeness, with flavors fully developed (when
sold fresh, they are picked for shelf life, firm and unripe).
Canned tomatoes offer a nutritional bonus: the process releases a
higher level of the powerful antioxidant Lycopene than fresh.
You need only puree a can of San Marzano DOP and heat it
with a little olive oil, garlic or onion for a quintessential taste
of Italy. Toss it with spaghetti and pretend you are Sophia Loren as you happily fork it up.
On market shelves lined with brands, some even using the San
Marzano name, how do we choose the authentic San Marzano
DOP? Simple: look for the DOP insignia
(denominazione di origine protetta) on the label. This
ensures the tomatoes are grown and processed in the specific
regions that contribute to their unique characteristics; the DOP
designation reassures you of the highest standard of
excellence.
In honor of our pasta celebration, the chefs at I
❤ San Marzano DOP offer you a little gift
of a recipe: Conchiglioni with buffalo
ricotta and cream. For this and many other San Marzano
DOP recipes, visit I Love San Marzano DOP.
