Italy's No.1 brand of tomatoes. (Source: IRI Infoscan for shelf-stable tomatoes. See website for details). My Family's Passion: Since 1899, my family has shared our passion for everything that goes into these 100% Italian tomatoes - the sun, soil, rain and heart of our people in Parma. We capture this essence to share with you. Passata is a simple puree of vine-ripened tomatoes with Mediterranean sea salt for a sweet, delicate, velvety taste. Perfect for your marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary - Franceso Mutti.
