Santorini Tomato is a legendary PDO & PGI Greek product, thanks to the island’s geology and climate.

Santorinian Tomatoes are naturally deeper red, sweeter, thicker skinned, firm outside and juicier inside, with a brightly acidic, sweet flavor. These specifics make them ideal for the making of the extremely delicious Tomato Paste, another iconic export product of Santorini, since 1920s.

Santorinian tomatoes have a distinctive, very concentrated flavor, compared to other tomatoes, with higher sugars, making them ideal for the production of tomato paste, and all other Tomato’s canned versions, in many other forms.

Needless to say, the first industrial Unit of the Island, was set up by our SANTOCALDERA producer.
