San Marzano Paste Tomatoes are a classic Italian variety prized for their dense flesh, low moisture content, and rich flavor—ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning. They thrive in full sun and prefer consistent, deep watering, keeping the soil evenly moist to prevent blossom end rot. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, then transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. San Marzano tomatoes are best started from seed and transplanted, as early starts produce stronger plants and higher yields.
