Stanislaus Alta Cucina Whole Tomatoes, 6.43 Pound

EDIT: I was snarky when I first bought these tomatoes last year because I thought they came in small cans instead of one gigantic can. The truth in the room tho is that two cups of this in a saucepan with some garlic and a splash of balsamic makes the most delicious pasta sauce on earth. You don't have to do anything at all, just cook it down, mash it down a little if you want. The sauce is a deep almost purply red, absolutely aromatic and flavorful. I looked for this product because I live in a small San Joaquin Valley town that is choked with open semi trucks full of raw tomatoes every September and I wanted to track those tomatoes down -- these are those tomatoes, processed about 20 miles away from where they're harvested. If you love food, mostly plants, you will love this gigantic urn of peeled stewed tomatoes, just be prepared to portion it out. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just to be clear, this is one gigantic can of tomatoes not 6 smaller cans as I had expected. Never hurts to read the product description as carefully as possible lol. I'll go ahead and divide it up into six jars or bags and stick it all in the freezer.

This is my third purchase. I learned about these canned tomatoes from a book titled Simply Tomato. I couple of times a year I make a large batch of tomato sauce and freeze in 1-quart freezer bags. By fr the best canned tomatoes I have ever worked with!

Though the can is LARGE the sauce was phenomenal. The tomatoes were easy to breakup with a potato masher and the flavor was perfect tomato. Not acidic nor bland, just flavorful.

I am jumping on the band wagon with everyone else who saw the article in Food and Wine. Wonderful tomatoes. I used to buy Muir Glen, but they sold and quality has suffered. This is a big can of tomatoes with lots of sauce. So use what you need and put the rest in freezer bags. My one complaint is with Amazon and its packing. There was also two big mayo in this box so the tomato can got a dent. Did not break thru so I am using and decided not to return. Not happy about this. In fact, packing has totally gone downhill lately.

Best canned tomatoes according to the pros. I love the way they taste. The large can is a little bit of a pain but you can freeze the ones you are not going to use in the next week. If they came in smaller cans I would give them 5 stars, but I keep re-ordering them, so I guess I think they're worth it.

I have used almost all high rated tomatoes there are, rated by chefs. I inquired about the favorite of NYC restaurants and pizzerias. Alta Cucina came up consistently! I tried them and there’s no going back! Even better than my sauce made from home grown! Everyone wants my sauce so I make a vat weekly to share with the family. Thanks for making them available AND affordable!!

Purchased for my Pizza making interest. Wish the cans were available in smaller options. Making do I use a little salt, a touch of oregano,and then blend with my stick blender. I store,in deli contains, and freeze. Then on days I get ready to,make my Detroit pizzas, I,take out one container and defrost as I prepare the pizza doe. These are the best tomato products for pizza in my opinion.

Literally the best canned tomatoes you can buy...
