Cilegino – Canned Cherry Tomatoes

Italianavera's canned tomatoes are called "veropop" by Diana. Because why shouldn't tomato cans also look good? Thus, Italianavera's distinctive, colorful cans are a tribute to the best tomato specialties of Campania and have become the trademark of a young company that makes quality and design its strengths. The selection of the tomato before harvesting, the careful production process, and the respect for the raw material at every stage of the supply chain are the key points of this production, which is the result of knowledge and passion that the founder Diana inherited from her grandfather and father. Pomodoro vera!

Italianavera – vero pop – Pomodoro vera

In San Marzano Sul Sarno, not far from Naples, between the lightness of the Amalfi Coast to the west and the energetic volcano Vesuvius, is not only the home of the very best tomatoes, but also that of Italy's most attractive sauce maker: Diana Attianese. As a child, she learned everything there is to know about tomatoes from her mother and aunt, who, in the early, cooler morning hours of summer, cooked down the freshly picked, ripe tomatoes into sugo: how the different varieties taste, how they smell when ripe, which tomatoes are best for sauces, and which are peeled and cooked whole. Because even if the old varieties are not suitable for transport due to their sensitivity, they can be wonderfully preserved in glass and can without losing their fresh taste and intense aroma.

Diana knew the canning business well, as her father was active in this industry, but as is often the case with daughters, they want to do it differently, better than their fathers. Only the best tomatoes are cooked down into sugo or go into the pop-art designed cans of the trained business economist. And because the art of preservation is traditionally a women's craft, the name Italianavera suits the lively Italian woman and her ten female employees particularly well.
