About Pomì

Pomì was founded in 1982 in the province of Parma and immediately became an icon thanks to its innovative packaging— the carton brick, which makes the tomato sauce easily recognizable in any country where it is exported. Today, Pomì is synonymous with Italian quality, controlled supply chain, tomato traceability and sustainability of production and transformation processes. In fact, Pomì tomatoes are grown from selected seeds cultivated by members of the Consorzio Casalasco del Pomodoro on over 7,000 hectares between Cremona, Parma, Mantua and Piacenza, in Northern Italy. Pomì tomatoes are 100% Italian, cultivated to respect the environment and the health of our consumers while bringing a burst of flavor to each dish.
