San Marzano Fire (Striped Tomato)

15+ Seeds/Packet

Ignite your garden with the vibrant San Marzano Fire, a striking striped heirloom tomato inspired by the legendary San Marzano family of Italy. With elongated, plum-shaped fruits streaked in fiery red and golden-orange stripes, this tomato is as visually dramatic as it is flavorful. Known for its sweet, tangy taste and meaty flesh, San Marzano Fire is perfect for sauces, roasting, and fresh culinary creations.

Chef’s Pairing Pro-Tip: The thick, meaty walls and low acidity of the San Marzano Fire make it the ultimate base for artisanal hot sauces and gourmet salsas. For a heat-free flavor explosion, pair these roasted tomatoes with our Habanada Seasoning Peppers, or lean into traditional Andean flavors by blending them with the citrusy heat of our Aji Amarillo Peppers.

Culinary Benefits:
San Marzano Fire tomatoes are sweet, tangy, and richly flavored, just like traditional San Marzano, but with a colorful twist. Their dense, meaty flesh and low seed content make them ideal for cooking down into sauces, roasting whole, or using in fresh Italian-style recipes where the tomato’s texture and flavor shine.

Perfect For:
A classic Roasted San Marzano Fire Pasta Sauce:

• Halve the tomatoes and roast with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs until soft and caramelized.

• Blend into a smooth sauce for pasta, pizza, or lasagna.

• The stripes of red and gold add visual appeal to dishes, making the sauce as beautiful as it is flavorful.

They’re also excellent for canning, tomato preserves, or fresh bruschetta, where their sweet-tangy flavor can take center stage.

Growth and Harvest:
San Marzano Fire is an indeterminate variety that produces heavy yields of elongated plum tomatoes. Fruits ripen mid-season and continue producing throughout summer. The unique red-and-gold striping makes them a standout in any garden, and the meaty, firm flesh ensures excellent culinary performance.
