Monte's Family Recipe Tomato Sauce

Our sauce is made with 100+ years of family tradition behind it since the Monte Family emigrated to Brooklyn from Sant'Angelo di Lombardi and Avellino, Italy in 1906. Our Vine Ripened Fresh Plum Tomatoes are the best American grown tomatoes available — which we find paramount to most Italian tomatoes available today as the popularity of 'San Marzano' and similar Italian tomato varieties has led to mechanized commercial farming and mislabeling. Our tomatoes are grown in California via the rural Italian tradition and are washed and steam peeled. Additional ingredients are sourced locally from the best farms in the Hudson Valley, NY whenever seasonably available. (from Monte's)
