Carmelina 'e…San Marzano Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes in Puree, 14.28 ounce (Pack of 12)

I made Cioppino with these tomatoes yesterday and let the broth refrigerate overnight. Added fish and shellfish today and served over home made linguine accompanied with garlic toast. Rave views by people all commenting on the rich, deep flavor of the tomato-based broth. It's true that the brand does not have the "DOC" stamp but they are true Pomodoro variety tomatoes grown in the Cambria region of Italy and have all the flavor of any DOC stamped brands at at least half the price. Another big plus is the coated liner of the can that prevents a "tinny" flavor generally found with canned tomatoes. Do yourself a favor and buy a case of these, you will thank yourself for such a wise purchase. Unless you wish to pay about double the price for Muir Glen brand U.S. made tomatoes, you will not find an equal. There are also non-DOC brands of aged Balsamic vinegar that echo the same accolades as this brand of tomatoes.

Surprised that these actually come close to the fresh taste of my favorite Sclafani brand whole peeled tomatoes. Tried these on a whim given the good reviews and pure ingredients. These, along with Sclafani, trump any other canned tomatoes I've tried in stores. White lined cans are a plus. I buy the 14 oz cans as Sclafani are only now available online in the 28 oz size and was looking for something smaller for times when I don't need as many tomatoes. Fantastic!

Thought I was buying 28 oz cans, but the smaller cans are fine. Taste good

These are not sweet as most people say. I had to add sugar to make the sauce edible. Hunts tomatoes are better and available at every store.

This is an excellent product. It is NOT "D.O.P." (it IS imported from Italy) but it is indistinguishable from the D.O.P. brands I've tried and much cheaper if you can't get them locally. And what makes it very desirable to me is the 14 oz cans. Most D.O.P. San Marzano tomatoes come in 28 oz cans but I want a size that works well for sauce for a ½ lb serving of pasta and that's the 14 oz can. Try these as I do for Al Matriciana or Putanesca sauce and I think you'll be as delighted as I am.

If San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes are as essential to you as they are to me, and you're having trouble finding your regular stuff, no worries. These tomatoes will not disappoint. Delicious, and they work well, very well, in all of my recipes (mainly for marinara). I recommend them!

I was looking forward to tasting these tomatoes after reading so many positive reviews. Using as couple of cans, I made a quick pasta sauce, usually very good, and it was awful. It tasted primarily of tin can. Metallic and mediocre. Can't tell if tomatoes are old or just poorly made. The rest of the case is going to the food bank. It's edible, but we won't be using it. Pity.

San Marzano imported Italian tomatoes are supposed to be the best according to the Food Network stars. I tried these and I have to agree that their flavor surpasses any American brands. Although they don't have the official government stamp of authenticity, I would recommend them. They're packed in a rich tomato puree and reasonably priced compared to other Italian brands. They arrived dent free but not in 2 days as the prime labeling promised.
