American English pronunciation has more mispronunciation than people think. It usually occurs regionally. "Saul dur" is never correct for "Saw dur" it's just misunderstanding the word "Solder." Americans pejorate tons of words. Cellulite as fat cells, are currently pronounced "Sell YOU lite". That's incorrect, it's "Sell you leet", "sell you lite" is insulating material. "Meh zo thee lee Oma" is actually "Mee zo Thee Lee oma". Americans love to change words because of lazy pronunciation. Like, you know what I mean, ya know?

In my own personal 'taste test' the Cento brand San Marzano whole tomatoes are far and beyond the best! Even if I need crushed tomatoes I will use these and crushed the whole tomatoes for my recipes.

Simply buying something with basil means you normally don't have or want it on hand, but want to use it once in a long while, so you use that. This taste test made no sense to me at all.

The canner is in Pennsylvania and the tomatoes are from New Jersey. New Jersey apparently is known for producing good tomatoes. A lot of the acclaimed pizza shops in New Jersey, New York City and New Haven use New Jersey tomatoes. When I was in college I heard constantly about how New York has the best pizza and it's because of New York City tap water and New Jersey tomatoes.

As usual, that's an interesting and informative test. I'd love to see you folks do a test on whole tomatoes. I've hear so much about the D.O.P. San Marzano canned tomatoes from well-known chefs that I'm wondering whether it's really worth it or whether those particular tomatoes are actually as good as many claim. Thanks for your many helpful posts. Cheers.

Would love to see you compare the winner to a California organic brand I recently discovered named Bianca Dinapoli. They’ve so much flavor and natural sweetness that I switched from Muir Glen (I liked the added basil).

My favorite crushed/ground tomatos of all time are the cans of 7/11 made by Stanislaus out of California. Absolutely favorite tomato flavor. It's generally only available through food service wholesale outlets, but totally worth going out of your way to get in my opinion.

Apparently, people don't realize you can follow the link in the description to see the full lineup of the taste test, which included several more brands.

Pa. & NJ has the best summer for growing tomatoes

Interesting. I am a gardener and I purchased seeds from Rutgers for the original Jersey tomatoes,...Rutgers and Campbell’s KC146. The Campbells tomato was grown for them exclusively and valued for its taste and reliability. I have been growing Rutgers for years because of its rich taste. Unfortunately as time went by producers wanted tomatoes that shipped better and had more disease resistance (and consequently had tougher skin.) Luckily these and a few others were bred back to their original state. It is part of the “Rediscover the Jersey Tomato “ project. Look it up. Totally worth it.

Also any temperatures over 185F is the point that breaks down the pectin in the foods.. that is why on pickles you get crisper ones if you PASTEURIZE at 180-185F instead of regular canning at 212F

YOU GUYS ROCK

For a good choice that's widely available, Hunt's is a great brand. Their ingredients list crushed tomatoes. If you read the ingredients of many brands, the first two are tomato paste and water.

Middle aged Italian American woman here, I live and breathe tomatoes ... My faves are 7/11 ground tomatoes... Not easy to get but you'll never go back. My Italian deli sells them to me. Red pack crushed is my other fave. Redpack has a clean fresh flavor. They really are the best.

The problem with this is few people actually use Crushed Tomatoes directly out of the can - most are used in a recipe for Sauce or Gravy - and then maybe some type of soup or stew. After cooking - adding all the herbs and spices - and the meats and veggies - it is really really hard to tell difference between the TOP liked brands. I have learned that Hunts, Red Pack, and Tutorosso (The American ones) are pretty much interchangeable - after cooking - and my Local Shop Rite often has them on sale for 12 for 79 Cents each. I am from NJ- and coming from the place where the BEST Tomatoes come from - In the Summer - I can buy REAL Fresh Plum Tomatoes (Or pick them from my garden) and YES - they beat ANY real Italian San Marzano - but it is not worth the trouble of canning them when the others are so good.

I used to process my tomatoes with a hand-cranked "Squeezo" machine and froze the skinless and seedless results in Ziplock bags. I found I could take the frozen blocks of tomato puree, suspend them over a bowl, and a golden liquid would drain out leaving the very rich, deep red, tomato pulp in the bag. It wasn't hard for me to guess which liquid in the video had been cooked less.

I'll have to look for and try SMT. But I always buy San Marzano DOP.

Red Gold is my favorite canned domestic, sweet with low acidity. For imported PDO San Marzano, brands like Mutti, La Valle, or Sogno Toscano are hard to beat, but the prices are rather high. There is a lot of counterfeit brands from Italy too, companies that import tomatoes from other countries and label them as San Marzano.

@Thommadura

Жыл бұрын

Actually - the "San Marzano" can refer to a place in Italy where some small amount of Tomatoes are grown and canned ONLY WHOLE - there are no true Crushed,Paste, or Puree that is true San marzano. BUT - San marzano is also a type of Tomato seed. It is perfectly legal to use them and say so - but in Europe they cannot claim they are grown in San Marzano Italy unless they are. And the consistent winner of taste tests over the decades has been Rutgers Tomato Seeds - both Plum and Heirloom. These originate from New Jersey (Rutgers is the NJ State University) and when vine ripened they produce superior Taste and Texture. SMT Tomatoes use these and much of their tomatoes are grown in Central or Southern New Jersey. Southeast PA, and Northern Delaware. Remembering the Tomatoes came from the New World first, the idea that San Marzano Tomatoes are the "Original" tomatoes is false. In fact, the Original Canned tomatoes were from NJ.
