Mutti: Italian Tomatoes from Parma Since 1899

Since 1899, the Mutti family has shared its passion for everything that goes into its 100% Italian tomatoes — the sun, the soil, the rain and the people of Parma, Italy. Today Mutti is Italy's number one tomato brand, found in the pantries of three out of every four households in Italy.

A focus on quality

The Mutti story is marked by milestones in innovation: a patented processing method that better preserves the texture and fresh flavor of the tomato, tomato paste in a thimble-topped tube and polpa, the finely chopped tomatoes introduced in 1971 that taste so fresh you can enjoy them straight from the can. The most important factor in the company's success is a single-minded focus on quality.

While other producers looked for ways to increase efficiency and cut costs, Mutti followed its passion and directed all its efforts to the most perfect expression of the tomato. The company invests heavily in its raw material, working with a network of farm partners to cultivate flavorful varieties and paying above-market prices for the best of each year's crop. Each year Mutti gives its three top farmers for overall quality the coveted Pomodorino D'Oro (the Golden Tomato) award. Being a Mutti supplier is a source of pride in Italy's famous "Food Valley."

How the products are made

Mutti tomatoes are grown mainly in northern Italy, in Emilia-Romagna, with additional varieties from Puglia and Campania in the south. The annual harvest runs from mid-July to mid-September, and those are the weeks when the company selects all its raw materials for the year. Tomatoes are picked, delivered and preserved within hours to keep the freshest possible taste.

Every delivery is tested against the company's quality standards. The tomatoes are then unloaded, washed, sorted, selected and immediately packaged. Unlike many other producers, Mutti uses the same high-quality tomatoes for every product, from finely chopped canned tomatoes to pastes and purees.

The difference of Mutti tomatoes

Mutti tomatoes are known for consistent taste: fresh, fragrant and naturally sweet. At every step the company obsesses over quality — the best seeds, the best farmers, the richest soil, the most exhaustive sorting and a delicate preservation process. The result is a tomato closest to fresh, which brings vibrant flavor to any recipe.
