It's not a brand. It's a type of tomato supposedly grown in the rich
soil around Naples.

Several companies import/sell San Marzano and San Marzano-type tomato.
They can be found in some grocery stores and Italian food stores.

I have tried them, but I don't go out of my way to find them. They
are very good for sauces. Tomatoey, not acidic.

Thanks so much. I'll keep my eye out for the name, "San Marzano" on the
cans, when I go to an Italian grocery, which is not very often.

I'm at this moment trying to killfile a 'subject' but it doesn't seem to
work for the particular 'subject' I've chosen - but works for others. Yes,
one does wonder about these things.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm back; nice to see you. [:-}

Ahhh! Sorry! Do you mean the kind of tomato? Yes, in the south of Italy we
have many plantation of San marzano. San Marzano is better then the other
tomatoes; it is suitable especially for canning because it has much pulp and
few seeds.

They cost a little more than the other.

Yes. They are very good!

I have had these a number of times over the last year. I think they
are superior and would try and get them vs. other canned tomatoes.
Fewer seeds and superior flavor.

I agree. They taste better and make better sauces, definitely worth
seeking out. You might try Cost Plus/World Markets if you have one of
them in your area. -aem

Great idea! Thanks so much. I'll look the next time I go to the big City.

Do they really taste better or is it just hype? Michael Chiarello is
one vocal debunker of this myth. He pooh-poohs that Italian tomatoes
are any better tasting than locally grown tomatoes and prefers to buy
domestic brands. No question he can afford to buy imported.

I buy Nina brand which are grown and packed in Italy. They are available at
Costco, near New Haven, CT which has a large Italian population. 6 lb. 10
oz. can.
I once had a art teacher that poo-poo'd every art material that was made in
European or Asian countries, and would call attention to those who did
prefer even Winsor-Newton materials. Sometimes this makes me suspicious.
Doesn't M.C. have a vineyard in California? Perhaps he grows tomatoes,
too -- tee hee.
In all seriousness, sometimes it is a matter of preference. I don't drink
California wine; I prefer Italian; I can afford either.

I think "buys domestic brands" is pretty clear.

Many folks are enamored of foods imported from Europe. I've never
found their canned tomatoes to be any better. MC is a first gen
American, both his parents and grandparents immigrants, and he's very
much a traditionalist when it comes to Italian food. I don't think
he's bs'ing us. But, it's all very subjective. If you think they are
better, so be it.

Yes, and many folks are adverse to things from Europe and Asian countries.
Yes, I think it can be very subjective and many times depends on the
openmindedness and background (not necessarily being an immigrant) of the
person giving their expert advise.

If they think it is better, so be it. But even though they are an expert,
it is no more than mere advice.

I always use Italian canned tomatoes. I buy the San
Marzanos and also those that are not, all very good.
Not only do I usually prefer the taste of the Italian
tomatoes, but I can almost never find an American version
that has less than 290mg sodium in a 35 calorie 'serving'.
The Italians ordinarily let you do your own salting, so
that a 'serving' contains from 15 to 30mg of sodium.

I cannot remember the name brand, but I love the brand of these that
comes in a typical whole tom. can size with a white label with long plum
tomatoes standing on their "toes" on the label. They are pricier and I
use them diced put in the last few minutes of cooking a sauce. They
taste "fresher" and meatier than others, and with some minced fresh
herb, give a sauce a fresher taste.

That could be "Nina" which I buy in New Haven at Costco. I just looked at
the label, there are 5 toes.
I've not seen them anywhere else. I do like them.
