I buy these all the time - and for some reason I cannot find them in Indianapolis anywhere anymore :( So thank you Amazon. I actually sent these to a friend back home in NY and now she's hooked too!

I've tried this brand as well as the "Cento" DOP certified 'grown in Italy" San Marzano, and I'm sorry to say, I do NOT see any difference in flavor. San Marzano is a type of tomato, it is not a locale of where they're grown.
Frankly, I almost prefer this brand over the Cento brand because these tomatoes come pre-crushed. This means I don't have to get my hands or a potato masher in there and start tearing up the tomatoes to make them blend in
with the sauce.
Maybe if someone is a purist and can honestly distinguish these from San Marzano tomatoes that have been imported from Italy, then they can keep buying the more expensive 'imported' tomatoes.
But I just don't see the point in spending $1.50 or more per can to buy 'the real thing' when there's no discernible difference in flavor or taste.
Sorry, I just don't feel like belly-aching over something so trivial. I"m baking the pizza for myself and my family, not running a restaurant or trying to satisfy Italian quality laws.
I think the DOP designation is over-rated. I'm also not cooking my pizza in a wood-burning oven, so what difference does it make how 'authentic' the tomatoes are?!
These tomatoes are just as good as any others. I didn't give them five stars because while I don't see them as being inferior to 'the real thing', I also feel that I can make my own tomato sauce that tastes every bit
as good as the san marzano canned tomatoes. So, while these tomatoes aren't bad, they're aren't perfect either. I've yet to find any that are.
