La Fonte, one of the few tomato brands to carry Italy’s coveted “Marchio Storico d’Interesse Nazionale” (Italian Historical Trademark) - is now just a click away for American shoppers on Walmart.com. From authentic San Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino PDO to sweet, sun-kissed Datterini, every tin is packed within hours of harvest: no additives, no shortcuts - just Southern Italian sunshine and four generations of know-how.

The products are brought to the US by Gourmica, the online destination for extraordinary Italian food, which will continue to broaden the range over the coming months.

The Italian Historical Trademark register - managed by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy - honours brands that have been registered or used continuously for at least 50 years, safeguarding their provenance and protecting consumers against “Italian-sounding” imitations.

Founded in 1903 in Mercato San Severino (Salerno), Coppola Foods is listed in the Italian Registry of Historic Companies and is the third-oldest tomato business in the register - and the oldest from Southern Italy still in operation today.

About La Fonte

La Fonte is Coppola Foods’ heritage tomato brand, first launched when Ernesto Coppola Sr. began canning San Marzano tomatoes in Mercato San Severino, Salerno. In 2022, it was entered into Italy’s Register of Historic Brands, recognising over 70 years of continuous production and strong ties to Southern Italy’s tomato-growing tradition.

Today, La Fonte is exclusively dedicated to the U.S. and Canadian markets. Every canned tomato and sauce produced by Coppola Foods for North America carries the La Fonte label, distinguishing it from the company’s global ranges.The line includes PDO-certified San Marzano tomatoes as well as other Italian gourmet tomatoes such as datterini, marzanino, cherry, and yellow plum tomatoes - all grown in fertile Southern Italian soils, harvested at peak ripeness, and packed within hours. Free from added sugar, thickeners, or preservatives, the products are Kosher, Halal, and packed in BPA-free tins.

Distribution is managed by Gourmica North America LLC, based in Dover, DE.
