For 70 years, we’ve been passionately bringing Italy’s precious gold to kitchens across Germany—with our ORO di Parma tomato products. But:
ORO di Parma brings more than just Italian tomatoes to the table. ORO di Parma stands for Dolce Vita, a uniquely Italian way of life, and above all, authentic Italian cuisine.
The Parma region is synonymous with tradition and culinary delight
The Parma region in northern Italy offers the ideal conditions for growing the finest tomatoes—after all, the home of world-famous Parma ham and aromatic Parmesan cheese is also the home of ORO di Parma. This is the cradle and heart of Italian tomato cultivation. Hardly any other region has as much experience in growing these delicate tomato plants. No wonder, then, that farmers have been cultivating tomatoes in this region since the 18th century. Grown outdoors, the plants develop their full flavor thanks to the sun-drenched climate and fertile soils north of the striking Apennine mountain range. It’s almost enough to make you a little envious. And that’s not all: Our tomatoes are grown according to the particularly high quality standards of the Emilia-Romagna region. These standards ensure product quality throughout the entire supply chain while respecting the environment and human health.
That's Why Parma – Premium Origins & Products with a Rich Tradition
For our ORO di Parma products, we use only tomatoes that ripen under the warm Italian sun, which is what gives them their aromatic, delicious flavor. Tomatoes that, with their vibrant red color, juicy flesh, and spicy aroma, deliver that very special, deliciously balanced flavor on our tongues. What does that taste like? A little tart, a little tangy, a little sweet. These are the perfect tomatoes from ORO di Parma. We place great importance on careful cultivation, the right harvest time, and gentle processing. That’s exactly what makes our tomato products so high-quality—and indispensable for authentic Italian cuisine.

The best products take love and time
An Italian proverb says: Presto e bene non vanno insieme. (“Fast and good don’t go together.”) This is also our standard for quality: All our tomatoes are grown with plenty of time and the power of Parma’s fertile nature. Fast-grown greenhouse tomatoes never find their way into our products. Every ORO di Parma product contains only sun-ripened Italian tomatoes, which are typically harvested starting in July—for pure, unadulterated enjoyment. Guaranteed.
Here's how you can recognize the quality of our ORO di Parma products:
- Tomato cultivation has been a tradition in northern Italy for centuries—and with us, the name really says it all, because ORO di Parma means “The Gold of Parma.”
- We know exactly where our products come from—and we don’t want to hide that. That’s why we clearly label the origin of our products on the packaging.
- To ensure 100 percent great flavor, all our tomato plants are allowed to grow outdoors under the Italian sun.
