Regardless of which Bianco DiNapoli tomato variety you choose, these are the official tomatoes of Pizzeria Bianco, the award-winning pizza restaurant. This product line was inspired by the specific demands of renowned pizza chef Chris Bianco, who sought a very particular type of flavor and quality for his pizzeria.

The Bianco DiNapoli line is a collaboration between Chris Bianco and Rob DiNapoli. Chris had great ideas for the perfect tomato, inspired by his Italian heritage but made organically in California. Rob had the experience and expertise to produce exactly what Chris was looking for, leading to the creation of this new product line.

After harvest, the tomatoes are transported by water into the sorter to maintain their integrity and avoid crushing those on the bottom. They are then separated by size and for any damaged units. The crushed tomatoes are used to make tomato paste and ketchup, while the intact ones are steam-peeled and go through the canning process.

Each can is hermetically sealed in a BPA-free can, with organic heat-treated puree added over the top. The consistency of the tomatoes is very thick, and nothing goes to waste. The only preservative used is a small amount of citric acid, a natural microorganism preventative, as these tomatoes are not treated with pesticides or other chemicals.

Rob DiNapoli, the mastermind behind the logistics and science of the tomato business, comes from a family that has been in the canning and packing business in Northern California since 1938. More recently, DiNapoli has shifted from packing products for other brands to focusing on their own high-end foodservice and retail lines.

Initially, Chris Bianco's idea was to have tomatoes only, but after thousands of taste tests, a small amount of salt and a few leaves of basil were added to maintain the flavor of the harvest. The whole tomatoes in the yellow label are in a thick puree and are intact, with the perfect texture. The crushed blue label product is the same tomatoes as the yellow label, but already crushed. The fire-roasted version is the whole tomatoes that have been roasted and then crushed, creating a unique flavor profile.
