The Amato Tomato, aka Nonna's Best

A Sicilian Heritage Signature Series favorite, the deep red heart-shaped "Amato Tomato" is low-acid, producing a tinge of sweetness, buoyed by an underlying essence of clove-spice. This tomato is perfect for slow-simmering pizza sauce. It has come to be known the world over as "Nonna's Best".

That underlying essence of clove has got me wanting to buy these 'Amato Tomatoes' by the bushel! (Not to mention the heart shape and Nonna reference)
Are there canned or jarred versions available, more easily shipped overseas?

I've been looking for an adequate pizza sauce tomato. This sounds like it fits the bill perfectly...and then some! Pizza utopia here I come!
