Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino
Food · PDO · 40 municipalities
Unlike generic San Marzano style tomatoes widely sold on global markets, the authentic Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP is defined by strict geographic limits within Campania. While imitations abound, this official designation, recognized since 1996, restricts genuine cultivation to just 40 designated municipalities, beginning alphabetically with Acerra. Today, a highly restricted group of only 27 verified producers maintains this agricultural standard under the oversight of the Consorzio di Tutela del Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino. This precise demarcation ensures that only fruits grown in this specific zone can legally bear the protected name.
