When I ordered this sauce for the first time, it was on sale, so I dared to jump in and give it a try.

In case you are worried to mail order glass jars with sauce, don't be - they were professionaly wrapped in bubble wrap (I mean, really each glass individually, as they should), and these bubble-wrapped jars then are swimming in a sea of packing "peanuts". So really, these people know how to pack! Unlike other amazon-packed items which have been delievered in desastrous conditions, THESE seem to come directly from the selling family, and they take pride and care in packing this well.

The sauce is very mild and delicate, and I just love the feel of not-processed sauce, just like homecooked. For example the tiny seeds of the fresh tomatoes are still in it! I love to bite on them!

I guess these are homecooked by the family selling them, at least they really taste like that.

Nothing at all like the industrial (crappy!) jarred products from Unilever or Procter & Gamble! If you like Bertolli, Hunt's, Rinaldi's, Ragu, Prego or the like, DO NOT BUY THESE! Your taste has been destroyed by these processed industrial items, and this fine sauce would be a waste on your taste buds. I bet you would not even like it, as people who are conditioned to like processed industrial food products are no longer able to taste delicate things like this.

Usually I am cooking pasta sauce from crushed Marzano tomatoes (I get Cento bottles for 3,50$ locally) and fresh ingredients. But when I am in a hurry, these Cucina Antica sauces are just as good as my own sauces.

The problem (and REALLY the only reason why they are not getting all 5 stars in my rating): we are financially not wealthy and cannot afford the regular price. I would immediately buy them again, if only a new deal (sale) would come up. I am checking at least monthly on them, but it doesn't look like anything is coming. So I am waiting, and in the meantime I am cooking my own sauce with Marzano tomatoes.
