It's not a brand. It's a type of tomato supposedly grown in the rich
soil around Naples.

Several companies import/sell San Marzano and San Marzano-type tomato.
They can be found in some grocery stores and Italian food stores.

I have tried them, but I don't go out of my way to find them. They
are very good for sauces. Tomatoey, not acidic.
