A recent New York Times Dining blog talks about San Marzano DOP tomatoes and how to tell the real from those that merely bear the name.  La Valle San Marzano DOP meet all the criteria proving their authenticity: The label reads Pomodoro San Marzano dell'agro Sarnese Nocerino DOP. The DOP and Cosorzio stamps are affixed as well as the number assigned by the Cosorzio. And these tomatoes are whole; chopped, pureed, or diced tomatoes are not given DOP status. 

Our customers can be sure that La Valle's wonderful San Marzano DOP tomatoes will consistently be among the best on the market!!!
