A delicious whole peeled elongated tomato to use as a base for any sauce for pasta, vegetables, meats or seafood. These tomatoes are hand picked when they are ripe off the vine between July and August in a local "Masseria" in Matera (Basilicata) where the heat of the southern Italian sun ripens the tomatoes to perfection and in conjunction with the rich soil provides them superb concentrated flavor. They come in a BPA-free tin. No preservatives, no coloring agents.
