About Casar
Casar is the historic Sardinian tomato brand representing over 60 years of Italian canning tradition since 1962. As the only canning industry in Sardinia, Casar Ltd has dedicated itself exclusively to transforming tomatoes grown on the island, creating products that showcase the unique terroir and quality of Sardinian agriculture from their factory in Serramanna, just 35 kilometres from Cagliari. What distinguishes Casar is their unwavering commitment to provenance and freshness. Tomatoes are sourced from farms in the Oristano plain and Medio Campidano regions within just three kilometres of the factory, then processed and packaged within 12 hours of harvest. This ultra-short supply chain ensures maximum freshness and flavour retention, capturing the essence of sun-ripened Sardinian tomatoes at their peak. Casar exclusively cultivates elongated tomato varieties rather than the round tomatoes common elsewhere in Italy. While elongated varieties produce lower yields per hectare, they deliver superior quality and natural sweetness that discerning cooks appreciate. The result is 100% pure Sardinian tomato paste containing no additional preservatives, salt, or thickeners—just concentrated tomato goodness for authentic Italian cooking. The brand has achieved international recognition, exporting to over 25 countries including the UK, USA, and throughout Europe and the Middle East. Casar also supplies Eataly stores worldwide under the Antonella brand, testament to their premium positioning. UK shoppers can find Casar concentrated tomato puree at Tesco and Ocado, bringing authentic Sardinian flavour to British kitchens.
