Superior tomato quality is the result of a shared commitment. We and our farming families are united by the same passion for quality, respect for the land and dedication to doing things the right way. This is why every farmer who supplies Mutti is asked to follow Mutti’s Sustainable Agricultural Practices Standards, ensuring that these shared values are upheld at every stage of the growing process.
A Long-Lasting Partnership
Over the years, we carefully selected not only the most quality-driven growers, but also the finest soils and tomato-growing areas. Every year, we partner with around 1,000 Italian farming families, each contributing their expertise and passion to every harvest. Together, we nurture a tradition that goes beyond agriculture: a collaboration rooted in experience, care, and the pursuit of the very best tomatoes.
We are constantly striving to do better and bring people the very best tomatoes. With this goal in mind, we work closely with our growers to continuously improve every aspect of what we do. These principles guide us on this journey.
Respect
Respect is at the heart of our relationship with farmers. We promote safe, responsible agricultural practices that protect both people and the environment, including the use of mechanical harvesting to ensure fair and ethical working conditions.
Cooperation
Our partnership goes beyond the harvest. We collaborate with our farmers throughout the entire year, sharing knowledge, expertise, and data to prepare each tomato season together and continuously improve quality.
Transparency
We believe trust is built on clarity. That’s why we ensure a fully traceable supply chain, supported by independent third-party certifications, so every step, from field to finished product, is monitored and verified.
Price
Quality deserves to be recognised. We pay a premium price, on average 10% higher than the market, to reward the best tomatoes, and every year we offer economic incentives that encourage ongoing improvements in quality and agricultural practices, including the Pomodorino d’Oro award.
Growing with Care
Together with our farming families, we adopt agricultural practices that aim to protect the land, optimise natural resources and support healthier crops. By combining generations of farming expertise with innovation, we help ensure that every harvest delivers the quality, freshness and flavour that define Mutti.
Every Mutti tomato tells a story of care, skill, and dedication. Our farmers are more than growers, they are true artists, shaping each harvest with experience, intuition, and a deep respect for the land. Through their hands, every stage of cultivation becomes an act of craftsmanship, where quality is not just achieved, but carefully created. Discover the people who transform tomatoes into excellence, season after season.
Pomodorino d’Oro
In 2000, we created the Pomodorino d’Oro award (Golden Tomato): each year we give a money prize to our best farmers for the quality of the product they grow. A virtuous cycle which focuses on care, quality and taste.
Our tomatoes
The story of our tomatoes begins in the fields of Italy. Each soil type and tomato variety has its own unique characteristics. Every step of the process, from field to table, affects the taste.
