NATURAL, FRESH FLAVOR FROM PICKING TO PACKING To Plating
THE CIAO Difference
Rich, Fertile Soil
Our tomatoes are grown in rich, fertile soil that’s been “kissed” by the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. It makes for delicious tomatoes that have become known as “the fruit of the sun.”
Bursting with Antioxidants
The sun increases the concentration of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant naturally found in tomatoes.
Farm Fresh
Our factory is just 90 minutes from our fields, so all of our tomatoes are canned within 6 hours of being picked.

Customer Reviews
See what everyone— from professionals to serious home chefs— has to say about Ciao.
Mercurio’s has been using Ciao tomatoes exclusively for over ten years and the products have always remained consistent and delicious. The whole peeled tomatoes are a beautiful red color and firm texture that when milled, create a smooth sauce that goes great on our pizzas. We love the balance of flavors between the sweetness and mild acidity. You need very little salt or additional seasonings to bring the Ciao tomatoes to life. The Ciao team provides a premier level of service that makes you feel like family, and we are proud to use their products.
I am a great fan of Ciao Pomodori, now for many years at Spacca Napoli. Balanced flavors, ripe, and beautiful, our ingredients are all of top quality and almost all from Italy, and Ciao is of course, one of them.
What I love about Ciao is its smooth consistency right out of the can - there's no need to add water! Just blend salt and pepper and you’re ready to go!
Who We Are
Compagnia Mercantile d’Oltremare was founded in 1979 by Lino Cutolo and his brothers, Remo and Franco. Our factory is located in the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius, the same region as San Marzano tomatoes and the Amalfi Coast. Our products are handled with the utmost care and they undergo multiple rounds of careful selection and sorting. This process begins in the fields, which ensures only the best tomatoes are processed and canned.
What We Make
We have a wide variety of products for every dish. All-natural and GMO-free, our tomatoes are full of fresh, rich flavor. It’s a difference you can taste straight out of the can (although they pair beautifully with simple elements such as oil, basil, and garlic).
