What makes our Italian plum tomatoes unique
Our use of Italian plum tomatoes ensures a sauce that's naturally sweet and low in acidity, offering a flavor profile that mass-market tomatoes can't match.
Italian plum tomatoes are prized for their rich taste and thick flesh, cultivated according to strict standards in the volcanic soil of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino region.
In our sauce, these tomatoes create a luxurious, full-bodied base, perfectly complemented by fresh cream and a hint of vodka.
Authenticity is captured in every spoonful.
