Editorial Reviews:
Plum tomatoes named after the region of San Marzano near Naples, Italy have traditionally been the tomatoes of choice for the best flavored tomato sauce. These are domestically grown tomatoes which use the same variety of seed. They are firm and meaty with very few seeds. Each can contains 28 ounces of whole peeled tomatoes. Fat and Cholesterol Free

Summary: Best in supermarket varieties
Comment: I don't know about the issue of their genuineness, but the San Marzano brand of canned tomatoes pictured here is far and away the best variety I've found in grocery stores. They beat the standard Hunts and Progreso brands hands down -- far firmer. Worth the price premium.

But now I'm inspired to mail-order some "real" ones from Italy.

Summary: TASTE LIKE GARDEN GROWN...FRESH!!!
Comment: My husband and I LOVE these San Marzano tomatoes. NO, they are not from Italy...the cans I have actually looked at were grown in Canada from San Marzano seeds. It is NOT "just" a regiuon in Italy, it is also a classification of tomato, like "Roma," or "Big Boy."

They taste fantastic and fresh and un-fooled-around-with. Just like from our garden, when the squirrels actually let us have some of our own tomatoes (rarely). We search these out and will pay extra for them. The taste dances on your tongue. Use them as a sauce, no other ingreditnets necessary.

These are the only canned tomatoes we eat in our house, and I grew up with Hunts (sugary) and Centano (salty) in my Italian-American home.

Summary: Not the real thing
Comment: I was fooled by the San Marzano label and bought 2 cans. Only to later find out San Marzano is a region and the authentic canned San Marzanos say D.O.P. and have the 3 stamps. The real San Marzano tomatoes do not contain citric acid.

Summary: Deceptive branding and a terrible product
Comment: I wish I could give this stuff zero stars. It's bad enough that the label is deceptive and obviously meant to mislead consumers, but the product is also awful. I recently was cooking with a friend and asked her to buy a can of San Marzano tomatoes for a recipe we were going to make. Not knowing better, she bought a can of these and I was stunned by how awful they were: small, round, pale, tasteless, mealy, and packed in a tomato-tinged watery liquid. I repeat what others have written here: buyer beware!

Customer Rating:

Summary: A complete ripoff
Comment: I can't believe we're so busy we were deceived by this ripoff. Real San Marzano tomatoes are imported. These are not, but are marketed so that you would think so if you did not read the entire label. Shame on them!
