A true culinary treasure
Every land has its king, and there is only one: the San Marzano Tomato is the king of our land. It's D.O.P. (Protected Designation of Origin), and because all the others come D.O.P.o. (after in Italian).
What does D.O.P. mean? It means that its characteristics are tied to the specific region where it’s grown and cannot be replicated elsewhere. As for what we mean when we say the others come "D.O.P.o."(after)—well, you can imagine that.
