Ive been obsessed with San Marzano tomatoes for couple of years now, and ive always said that they are the best tasting tomato out there.. Now I feel even more secure in that opinion. Thank you Eater for bringing us these amazing videos.
@@heavymetalbassist5 yeah i meant for cooking specifically. (canned tomatoes) Id surely prefer a heirloom tomato on a fresh bread and cherry tomato in a salad rather than san marz.
Tomatoes are not even native to Italy so I'm not sure how you can claim these were the first. Italian food didn't have tomatoes until they were brought back from the Americas.
The tomato is the edible berry of Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as the tomato plant. The species originated in western South America, Mexico, and Central America.
@@nattobaby noodles were created in china before pasta in italy yes, but they are actually unrelated. They were invented separately. They are also made from different ingredients.
So cool! I see San Marzano tomatoes used in a ton of cooking videos. I've never liked the taste of raw tomato, only cooked, but I'd definitely be willing to try one of these.
As nutrient dense compost as you can find of which is recommended you add some dead bugs, some egg shells ground up and some chopped banana peels to supercharge the soil with some nitrates oxygen and lots of calcium now true San marzano' grow in the volcanic Ash of Mount vesuvius so replicating that requires a great deal of mineral enrichment. Oh and as always grow in season and not outside of the season.
once your plants are established, prune all the small new shoots that come out between the main branches. this leaves more energy for the main branches and fruit
I find myself torn in the grocery store. Do I get the can of san marzanos or do I get the jar of ready-made sauce that's twice the can's volume at half the price?
I am curious how they trellis large scale indeterminate tomato growing like this, I was trying to see but couldn't quite get a good view. Is it a variation on the "Florida Weave"? I see some support poles but not enough for individual plants so it must be something similar.
You have to have the eye to be sure you’re picking the right ones,size color the right time of the year is the best way to get the right ones you’re looking for,for example your favorite sauces and spices and meals
Any home grown fresh tomato you pick of the vine that you grew in your own garden or balcony pot will certainly be better than ones shipped across the world from Italy
This is amazing to see! If you ever want to see what it like to stone-mill thousands of pounds of organic wheat daily and then bake it at our Test Bakery and Stone Mill in Lynn, MA - please be our guest!! We would love to share the magic of One Mighty Mill with you all
I tend to lose a bit of love for something when I see/hear "This authority states that you can't get these anywhere but here or else it's not them.". Maybe I have some personal growing to do.
Well, don't get hung up on it... San Marzano is a landrace variety, meaning that it has evolved due to the conditions present in that specific area; just as he says, the volcanic soil, the air, the water, etc. So, you can certainly grow them in your yard, but they will not be the same. They will not look the same or taste the same or perform the same. This is why most seed companies don't sell landrace seeds: you don't know what you'll end up with.
Except like kobe beef just because it wears the San marzano label doesn't make it a true San marzano as the real ones are grown on mount vesuvius within the mineral rich volcanic soil which lends its superior taste but unless you're a local with connections or a big time foreign interest with cash to spare getting a plot is next to impossible.
@@Giveme100ksubs Bro woke up on the wrong side of the bed lmao. 'Trend'? People have been commenting their placements for over 15 years mate. So arrogant
I love using san marzanos for sauces,bisque etc. In the winter.
But nothing better than tomatoes fresh out the garden.👍
The enamel coating is too prevent the tomatoes acid from eating away at the aluminum. It’s preserving the can, more than the tomatoes.
Hi my favorite 😊
Almost all cans nowadays have a liner of some sort on the inside, actually.
these cans are steel, not alluminim.
@@dannyfar7989 Whatever metal it is, tomato acid will eat it over time.
@Nuttyirishman85 it's still steel and not whatever.
Beautiful! So much passion and hardwork.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know that tomatoes were originally from south and central america.
It's a mistranslation. He says "el PRIMO pomodoro del mundo", which yes can mean "first", but more likely means "best", i.e. "prime".

For sauce maybe but I can think of other varieties that are better in other applications.

from gusto rosso the pomodore pelati taste sweater than san marzano
grazie
Try the cherokee purple someday, my friend, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Exactly , They didn’t get over to Europe till the 1500s
He could mean the first mass produced and transported tomato since he says of the world.
Italians don’t believe in that kind of logic 😂
Exactly! Came here to say precisely the same thing.
I agree. There is a reason the basic pasta doesn't have tomatoes TBH.
The tomato is the edible berry of Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as the tomato plant. The species originated in western South America, Mexico, and Central America.
wouldn't the original tomatoes be from south america
Thank you!
The italians think themselves as the centre of the tomato world
and pasta from china
@@sexycuntification They think themselves the center of every culinary world.

Just watched with my daughter. Wonderful stuff
No other tomatoes will ever come close to these incredible San Manzano's. When you want to have tomatoes for your favorite Italian dishes.
I am currently trying to grow tomatoes on my balcony in Singapore, any tips?

Oh and as always grow in season and not outside of the season.
Once they start to fruit feed extra calcium magnesium to prevent Blossom and rot and splitting of the skin
once your plants are established, prune all the small new shoots that come out between the main branches. this leaves more energy for the main branches and fruit
They are the best tasting tomatoes by far imo; my chef friend put me onto these
This is my tomato of choice for the garden. They make the best sauce by a mile. They grow very well in Arizona, with a bit of shade.
I find myself torn in the grocery store. Do I get the can of san marzanos or do I get the jar of ready-made sauce that's twice the can's volume at half the price?
If you have time to make sauce, buy the San marzanos. Just make sure you have all the tools to process them.

I use these in every recipe that calls for canned tomatoes. No competition.
"San Marzano was the first tomato of the world." bro, tomatoes didnt even exist in Europe until 1521
And they come from South America originally. Typical Italian hype and exaggeration.
Yes it does translate to "first" but Primo can also mean "the best or top" Still a great tomato though! 🙂

@@mikeymutual5489 San Marzano tomato is a type that grows on the aquifers of Vesuvius is completely different from the other tomatoes
Italians dont have moms or dads, just "grandmother's"
Love the video, but I can't watch and read.
keep up work on your channel im inpress
just find you and you are amzing!
Has anyone tried this brand yet?
Yummy
They are delicious but also overhyped
They also were deff not the first tomato in the world
Any home grown fresh tomato you pick of the vine that you grew in your own garden or balcony pot will certainly be better than ones shipped across the world from Italy
The "first" tomatoes? Really? I know primo means first, hoping in context it can also mean best/prime. Cuz otherwise... 😒
I have a theory that says tomato skins are used for tomato paste.

Actually the tomatoes in my backyard are better, you guys should interview me next
does this hurt the tomato?
Physically and mentally yes
Happy to see lots and lots of american whinners here😂 dude you guys come from a group of old blokes who sailed from UK, netherland and spain😂

How many tomatoes grown in China go into Italian branded tins.
Nobody
ma, chi era quel pomodoro?
Couldn't watch after hearing "fist tomato in the world".
Everything else he says could be wrong too.

anche la tua testa
informati ignorante e illuso … stessa cosa per il pistacchio di Brontë e per il tartufo nero .
1:15 why are you so proud of making the elderly do hard labor??
Why most of them are without gloves? I think they are adding an extra flavor of hands...
Gloves are more than the hands ... wake up from sleep
How is this the world's most popular tomato?
There are many parts of the world where these haven't even been heard of 😅
Oh bare hands used hygiene sanity and what not
Where are the hypocrites now

Tomatoes are not from Italy.
ma affanc....ulo
They are pasteurized... won't have the same flavor
Those pickers u better pay them well cause their backs are carrying your company.
It's a cooperative, those pickers are partners.
Italian food would be better if it wasn't like 80% pasta like can I get some protein and a vegetable please?
Change my view: Italian food is just different combinations of tomatoes, pasta and cheese
Free Palestine....
they're ok. vine tomatoes with some home grown basil are my choice for a good sauce
overrated and overhyped tomatoes all day long
glad you think so, more for me!

You would think you're first BUT this stupid trend is starting become VERY annoying, learn from yourself for once please... 🙄
@@Giveme100ksubs Bro woke up on the wrong side of the bed lmao. 'Trend'? People have been commenting their placements for over 15 years mate. So arrogant

I acknowledge italian ones as very tasty but the liesss 😂
When you look at where these are grown, basically next to a highway, it actually makes me like them less…
bet it's not 100% san marzano. just like how their olive oil is completely adulterated
