An equal parts mix of our most patriotic paste tomatoes! Pascal De Picarde, Cream Sausage, and San Marzano.

Pascal De Picardie- This tomato is very versatile in the kitchen - incredible sliced in salads but makes a wonderfully rich sauce tomato as well. Great hang on the vine capability and long shelf life makes them perfect for market. Vibrant purple shoulders that drip down the fruits with to a pink/deep mahogany base.

Cream Sausage- Here is a stunning, elongated paste tomato that is creamy white to pale yellow in color. This tomato makes the most beautiful spaghetti and marinara sauces! The sweet flavor is a hit with gourmet chefs!   Bushy determinant plants are quite productive and need little steaking. Bred by the renowned Tom Wagner.

San Marzano- San Marzano tomatoes have been designated as the only tomatoes that can be used for Vera Pizza Napoletana (True Neapolitan Pizza) in Italy. Compared to the Roma tomatoes Marzano tomatoes are thinner and pointier in shape, the flesh being much thicker with fewer seeds, and the fabulous taste is much stronger, more sweet, and less acidic, many people describe the taste as bittersweet, like high-quality chocolate. According to legend, the first seed of the San Marzano tomato came to Campania in 1770, as a gift from the Kingdom of Peru to the Kingdom of Naples and was first grown in volcanic soil in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.  It is also rumored to be a cross between 3 different tomatoes being grown in the region at that time: the King Umberto, Fiaschella, and the Fiascona. Of these 3 cultivars, only the King Umberto is still grown, the other 2 having since disappeared.
