Tomatos For Restaurants

The tomato is an essential ingredient in any kitchen, much more so in the Mediterranean. Restaurant chefs use it to prepare multiple recipes and the tomato’s quality directly influences the flavour and characteristics of the final dish that is prepared.

Our tomatoes are imported directly from Italy, more specifically from the Salerno region which is adjacent to Mt Vesuvius. This area is ideally suited climatically and with its volcanic soil, makes the optimal environmental conditions for the cultivation of various types of tomato, especially the San Marzano, the only European PDO designated tomato. Awarded the Protected Designation of Origin for its unique qualities of aroma and flavour, which is stronger, sweeter and less acidic compared with other types. This is a versatile tomato that can be used in any application but due to its scarcity should be preserved for a Chef’s signature dish.
