I have purchased a variety of DOP tomatoes in the past. Typically I been disappointed. I usually find that California products taste markedly better. The DOP tomatoes I have tried previously turned out to be mealy, and tinny tasting.

These tomatoes on the other hand, had a bright taste and a balance of sweetness and acidity that made a very good marinara. I have not used up this shipment so I don't know if every can is as good as this lot, but if so, these Strianese tomatoes, some garlic, a couple table spoons of olive oil, a pinch of crushed red pepper, salt and pepper are all that is necessary for happiness.

Absolutely the best canned tomatoe I have ever used. You can almost feel the sunshine on your face the taste is so fresh. [[ASIN:B000N36F9E Strianese Whole Peeled D.O.P. San Marzano Tomatoes 14 Oz. Can) I cook a lot and Italian is a favorite. With these tomatoes I get a more authentic flavor. Will not go back to store brands.

San Marzano tomatoes are not available locally and I was anxious to try them. The flavor is wonderful and I will buy more.

Although the tomatoes were delicious, I might hesitate to order again, since it appeared that the cans were either dented en route, or were taken off the shelf that way. They were also sort of dirty and old looking, so I have a feeling these are items which maybe don't move often enough, and I may have gotten the last of what was on the shelf, dented or not. Otherwise shipping was prompt. Could have been packed better.

These tomatoes make all the difference in a simple great sauce. I simmer them just a little to concentrate the flavors using olive oil, salt, and a pinch of Sicilian spice blend. At the end, toss in a little fresh basil. Great over pasta but best with my favorite - pizza Margherita.

Some have commented on the condition of the cans; I've ordered these literally by the dozen and have received cans in perfect condition from the vendor Taylor's Market.

These are nicely mild, sweet tomatoes. There is a lot of liquid in the can however, and when processed for pizza sauce the resulting consistency was too watery. I'd say you'd need to cook these down quite a bit if you like a thicker sauce.

Tasty but not suited to my needs.

Excellant taste and quality. I have been buying DOP San Marzano tomatoes online because I cannot find them locally in stores. Well worth it when I want to make a special dish that requires tomatoes.
