About the Strianese San Marzano Peeled
Strianese is a Campanian cannery whose San Marzano-style plum tomatoes are a staple in Italian kitchens and pizzerias. These are whole peeled, meant to be crushed by hand for a raw Neapolitan sauce with visible texture and bright acidity.
The listing sold on Amazon says San Marzano rather than printing the DOP seal, so treat it as San Marzano-type from the right region rather than a certified DOP can. Either way, it is a dependable base for a hand-crushed sauce.

Common questions
Are Strianese tomatoes San Marzano DOP?
Strianese sells San Marzano-type plum tomatoes from Campania, but this listing states San Marzano without printing the DOP seal, so treat it as San Marzano-type rather than certified DOP. For a guaranteed DOP can, look for the consortium seal, as on the Nolano, Gustarosso, or Cento DOP lines.
How do I use Strianese peeled tomatoes for pizza?
Drain some of the packing liquid, crush the tomatoes by hand, and season with salt and a little oil, then spread the sauce raw so it cooks on the pizza. Do not blend them, which turns the sauce pink and foamy.
