Pomodoro San Marzano – Canned Tomatoes

Diana calls Italianavera's canned tomatoes veropop. Because why shouldn't cans of tomatoes look good sometimes? Thus, Italianavera's distinctive, colorful cans are a tribute to Campania's best tomato specialties, such as these San Marzano tomatoes, and have become a hallmark of a young company that makes quality and design its strengths. The selection of the tomato before harvesting, the careful production process and the respect for the raw material at every stage of the supply chain are the key points of this production, which is the result of knowledge and passion that the founder Diana inherited from her grandfather and father. Pomodoro vera!

Italianavera – Pomodoro vera – vero pop

In San Marzano Sul Sarno, not far from Naples, between the lightness of the Amalfi Coast in the west and the energetic volcano Vesuvius, is not only the home of the very best tomatoes, but also that of arguably Italy's most attractive sauce maker: Diana Attianese. Even as a child, she learned everything there is to know about tomatoes from her mother and aunt, who cooked the freshly picked, ripe tomatoes into sauce in the early, cooler morning hours of summer: how the different varieties taste, how they smell when ripe, which tomatoes are best for sauces, and which are cooked whole, peeled. Because even if the old varieties are not suitable for transport due to their sensitivity, they can be wonderfully preserved in glass and cans without losing their fresh taste and intense aroma.

Diana knew the canning business well, because her father worked in this industry, but as is often the case with daughters, they want to do things differently, better than their fathers. Only the best tomatoes are cooked into sauce or put into the pop-art designed cans of the trained business economist. And because the art of preserving is traditionally a women's craft, the name Italianavera suits the lively Italian woman and her ten female employees particularly well.
