The debate between fresh and canned tomatoes has been around for years. Some people say that canned tomatoes are just as good as fresh, while others claim that fresh tomatoes are superior in taste and texture. So, which is the truth? Well, it depends on who you ask. If you ask a chef, they’ll likely say that fresh tomatoes are the way to go. This is because fresh tomatoes have more flavor and a better texture. However, canned tomatoes can be a great option if you’re looking for convenience. At the end of the day,
Canned whole peeled tomatoes are cooked. The canning process involves heating the tomatoes to a high temperature to kill any bacteria that may be present. This also makes the tomatoes easier to peel.
There are many similarities between Cento and San Marzano tomatoes. Both are plum tomatoes that are grown in Italy and are used in many Italian dishes. However, there are also some key differences. Cento tomatoes are slightly larger and have a higher acidity than San Marzano tomatoes. They also have a thinner skin and fewer seeds.

It's great that Amazon stocks this because it's challenging to find canned items with BPA-free liner, which is crucial when dealing with acidic foods like tomatoes.Additionally, these have USDA organic certification. They are tasty.

These canned tomatoes are by far the best I have ever eaten. Just delicious. Only vine-ripened tomatoes—instead of the pulpy, hard, flavorless, unripened tomatoes we frequently encounter in the United States—may be used by Cento. Since they aren't appetizing enough to eat on their own, I usually only use canned tomatoes in dishes (like spaghetti) but these Cento tomatoes are different; I genuinely yearn for them! These are cooked and sprinkled with parmesan cheese when I offer them as a side dish (create individual portions by microwaving in small covered bowls — one for eash guest — the deep red colored sauce topped with melted parmeson makes a pleasing presentation). When I open a tomato can, I often drain the watery "liquid" that the tomatoes are packaged in, but not with these; instead, the sauce is as thick and rich as a San Marzano puree and is just as tasty as the tomatoes. These are organic, non-GMO, and the can is BPA-free, which I enjoy. Simple and healthy ingredients include organic San Marzano whole plum tomatoes that have been peeled, organic San Marzano puree, organic basil leaves, naturally occurring citric acid, and organic salt. Avoid sugar! no substances that have a "chemical" sound to them.

Let me join the group of admirers who think these tomatoes are amazing by jumping on board with both feet. Yesterday, I created a pizza using only the puree straight from the can, and it was dangerously wonderful thanks to some secret spices and garlic that I also added. Even added a few smashed whole tomatoes on top and had to apologetically explain to my wife why there were none left when she got home and the house smelled like Italy why there were no leftovers. "The crust was too thin, honey, and you wouldn't have liked it."I'll give these a second try tonight with some homemade linguini in a pomodoro, and I can already see us finishing the case in no time. I found that these were less expensive than authentic San Marzanos, so trying them makes sense. In comparison to those underripe red tennis balls they offer at the market, the price is $10 vs. $.70 per ounce and about $2/lb. Additionally, Hunt's has no place on the same shelf as these stunning items. I'm donating what I have left from Costco, along with the sugar and baking soda, to the neighborhood food bank. I won't have to counteract the acid anymore. Despite the heated argument, baking soda (just a pinch) will neutralize the acid and somehow help emulsify and smooth down your tomatoes with your olive oil. Sugar merely serves to conceal the acid. If you are from the sugar camp, give it a try, but start out slowly because it is simpler to add more than it is to try to remove too much. Simply combine some baking soda with some warm water in your sauce.After all of that, why only give it a 4-star rating? Because even though they were wrapped in a sturdy case box, every can had a dent of varying degree (none of which leaked). Another tomato product on Amazon says in their disclaimer that the problem is the softness of the tin used in Italy, but implies that it is only a cosmetic issue. Since I intend to give some of these away to friends who compliment them, I prefer non-dented cans because they look classier, much like a wine label that is peeling, crooked, or ripped. Typically, this indicates "seconds" or even broken items.I would pay a little bit more to have these packed better so that denting doesn't happen, but I have the impression that this is how they are packaged at the manufacturer, and it is represented in the pricing, which is, as I have noted, very reasonable for the goods. Since the issue is frequently brought up in reviews here and, based on my recent firsthand experience, is not getting any better, I would expect that Amazon has enough influence and a genuine concern in customer satisfaction to urge the packaging plant in Italy to improve quality assurance.Other than that, purchase and savor with abandon! Enjoy your more free time because the smooth, substantial purée will shorten cooking time and provide a flavorful sauce without requiring hours on the stove.Chow-4-now,sjb

tomatoes with the best flavor for the money. It is not a true San Marzano tomato from San Marzarno, Italy, but rather the same tomato farmed elsewhere. Excellent taste without the hefty cost.Fry some zucchini, onions, and garlic in olive oil for pasta sauce. With a wooden spoon, finely chop or mash a can of these tomatoes. Add the drained pasta to this sauce, stir for a few minutes, and then serve with freshly grated Romano cheese. Cook for around 5 minutes or until your pasta is done (al dente). Quick meal.

I'm preparing to stock up for the winter at my little log home, and a case of these tomatoes was a great deal. Additionally, I really like fire-roasted tomatoes! So it's a win-win scenario for everyone.I also really valued the fact that the case was delivered right to my front door. For me, it doesn't get better than that.Last night, I tasted one-half of a can, and they were excellent. I'll watch how the winter develops and will surely place another order if I start to run low on supplies or get snowed in.On October 10, it was modified to clarify that these tomatoes contain only a small amount of liquid. The weight therefore refers to the tomatoes and not the additional liquid. Most manufacturers have fewer tomatoes and more liquid. Another reason why I enjoy this brand.Highly suggested.

I just relocated to a place where many of the things I had become accustomed to in the mid-Atlantic are difficult to find. There are no San Marzano tomatoes to be found. These were appealingly priced and seemed genuine, so I got them. They did not let us down. They taste just as fantastic on pizza as they do in spaghetti sauce. The fact that the cans are small is also a benefit because I occasionally find that I cannot use all of the tomatoes in the much larger cans. Don't overthink this purchase; if you want tomatoes that are tasty, low in acid, and don't taste like tin, get these.

These were delicious in a big pot of sauce that I made. much less acidic than typical canned tomatoes from the grocery store. possesses the DOP stamp on the can and is less expensive than San Marzano tomatoes seen in supermarkets. Even if the advertisements for the stores occasionally refer to San Marzano, when you try to purchase them, they lack the DOP stamp. Once you've tasted them, you can't go back to the shop for cans, so you're going to order again to have on hand.

Yes, it is safe to eat canned tomatoes without cooking them. Canned tomatoes are already cooked when they are canned, so you do not need to cook them again. Just open the can and eat them.
Canned tomatoes can be kept at room temperature for up to a week. If you're going to keep them longer than that, it's best to refrigerate them.
Canned tomatoes are peeled and seeded to make them easier to cook with. The skin and seeds can add bitterness to a dish, so removing them can result in a more balanced flavor. Peeling and seeding also makes the tomatoes easier to mash or puree.
