The San Marzano tomato is a variety of plum tomato known for its distinctive characteristics. Unlike the typical plum tomato found in grocery stores or canned, the San Marzano tomato is longer and thinner in shape. It also features a pointed tip that is more pronounced, giving it a unique appearance. Additionally, this variety tends to have fewer seeds compared to other plum tomatoes. These qualities contribute to the San Marzano's popularity among chefs and home cooks, as it is favored for making sauces and Italian dishes.
