Crispino Peeled Tomatoes
Crispino Peeled Tomatoes — The Essential Tomato for Real Calabrian Pizza
If you want to make true Calabrian pizza, you must start with the right tomato. Crispino Peeled Tomatoes, grown, harvested, and steam-cooked in Calabria, are the exact tomatoes Southern Italians use for their pizza bases, oven sauces, and everyday cooking.
Taycte/MySapori is one of the only U.S. distributors bringing these authentic Calabrian peeled tomatoes directly from Famiglia Crispino — a family that has preserved regional, artisanal methods for generations.
Unlike industrial tomatoes grown for bulk processing, Crispino tomatoes are harvested fully ripe, steam-cooked slowly, and packed without acidity correctors, glucose syrup, citric acid, tomato concentrates, dyes, or preservatives.
The result: clean, bright, naturally sweet tomatoes with the perfect balance for pizza and sauce-making.
Why Crispino Tomatoes Are the Gold Standard for Calabrian Pizza
-
100% Italian-grown in the sun-drenched fields of Calabria
-
Steam-cooked at low temperature to preserve color, texture & nutrients
-
Zero added sugar, zero citric acid, zero concentrates
-
Unmatched balance of sweetness + acidity (ideal for pizza ovens)
-
Naturally vegan, gluten-free, allergen-conscious
-
Rich in potassium & antioxidants
-
Clean-label & non-industrial — exactly how tomatoes were produced in Southern Italy before industrial shortcuts
These tomatoes create a silky, naturally thick sauce that sticks perfectly to dough, withstands high heat, and delivers the true Sapori di Calabria (Flavors of Calabria).
What Makes Them the Ideal Tomato for Authentic Pizza
Real Calabrian pizzas use tomatoes that are:
-
steam-cooked, not boiled
-
preservative-free and acidity corrector–free
-
naturally dense, not diluted with added water
-
never made from concentrate
When Crispino tomatoes hit a pizza oven — whether wood-fired, steel-surface, Ooni, Gozney, or traditional kitchen oven — they retain:
-
bright red color
-
fresh tomato aroma
-
creamy body
-
zero metallic aftertaste
This is the closest you can get in America to the tomatoes used in Calabria’s pizzerias.
