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.
