heavenly villagio marzano®
The sweet taste of heaven on earth.™
Village Farms’ Heavenly Villagio Marzano® is a true Mini San Marzano whose genetics originated in a small town of the same name near Naples, Italy. The San Marzano was first grown in the rich volcanic soils shadowed by Mount Vesuvius 240 years ago. Today, this mini version is grown exclusively by Village Farms.

Mini yet hearty, the Heavenly Villagio Marzano® is perfectly balanced with sweetness and acidity. A juicy, tantalizing eating experience. This Mini San Marzano is an heirloom-type variety of plum tomato that is distinctive in flavor! Its appearance is unique: thin and somewhat pear-shaped. It has a thick wall, making for a nice crunchy texture and bite. Naturally luscious and exquisite, the Heavenly Villagio Marzano® is remarkably sweet.
