Tomato Harvest
Did you know that 100% of tomatoes grown for processing in Canada are grown in Ontario?
In fact, the “Tomato Capital of Canada” is in Leamington, Ontario. Leamington has the mild climate and fertile soil which is perfect for growing tomatoes. The main growing area in Southwestern Ontario is Kent and Essex Counties where a unique combination of climate and soil has created an area ideally suited to the production of processing tomatoes.
September is the perfect time to harvest the tomatoes in your garden and the best time to come into Vincenzo’s to buy the freshest tomatoes possible. If you’re looking to make a great tomato sauce, come by and squeeze our Ontario-grown San Marzano Tomatoes

Spremipomodoro
TOMATO STRAINER
Whether you call it a tomato squeezer, tomato press, tomato strainer, tomato mill, or as it’s known in Italy, a spremipomodoro; this machine is essential if you want to make tomato sauces from fresh tomatoes.
Choose from hand-powered or electric models which can easily separate the skin and the seeds, while also pressing down the pulp to get out all that delicious tomato flavour in a fine puree sauce. The best part is that these wonderful machines are just limited to tomatoes!
These machines can separate the seeds, peels, and stringy stuff from a lot of fruits and vegetables. You can use your spremipomodoro to create juices, sauces, purees, chutneys, salsas, soups, jams, marmalades, and preserves.

SAN MARZANO TOMATOES
San Marzano tomatoes come from the Sarno River valley near Mount Vesuvius. The volcanic soils are said to produce sweeter, less acidic tomatoes which are perfect for sauces.
In fact, the San Marzano tomato is the best tomato for making pizza sauce. It used to be quite difficult to find cans of San Marzano tomatoes, Vincenzo’s carries a few different varieties which they almost always have in stock. These tomatoes are the gold standard and considered the best canned tomatoes in the world.
