I've tried dozens of different tomato brands and this one is my favorite. They are not overly acidic like some brands can be, the tomatoes taste fresh and it makes a nice evenly balanced sauce. San Marzano tomatoes are known to be the best - but this company really managed to capture that flavor in a can! BRAVO!!

San Marzano Tomatoes have a a very interesting flavor. Real, Italian San Marzanos are grown in an area near Sorrento in southern central Italy where the ground has a lot of volcanic ash which imparts a special flavor.

We have tried numerous brands of San Marzano tomatoes and found this one to be the best flavor. We use it in preparation of a tomaoto sauce base from Mario Batali's recipes. We also use it with garlic and fresh basil and fresh mozzarella to make an incredible pasta dish we call penne sorrentino.

Highly recommend this brand.

the tomatoes are superior to anything you will find in the supermarket. I would recommend them to anyone who appreciates good tomato sauce.

The thing that makes these great for pasta sauce (aside from the taste) is how they break down when cooked to produce a nice thick sauce. We've tested a lot of tomatoes and we found that one of the key things is that they be from Italy, and these are some of he best.

A couple of cooking forums I belong to highly recommend these tomatoes. Since I couldn't find them locally (no surprise), I ordered them here. After S&H, they were pretty expensive, so we did a 'blind taste test' between these & Progresso brand. Progresso won! The San Marzano were good, but not worth the price IMHO.

Good tomatoes but the shipping costs make them too expensive I found San Marzano in the local Shop Rite Supermarket at half the price
