San
Marzano is a very delicate tomato, with a
thin skin, which maintains its flavor for a long
time also with its preservation. Cultivated in the
very fertile territory of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino
in the province of Salerno, it is recognized by
the PDO designation.

I wouldn't buy these tomatoes over a good quality organic type. They are small, the juice is thin and watery and they are pink, not red, like true San Marzano tomatoes.
San Marzano are the king of tomatoes for using in Italian cooking. They are more expensive than other tinned tomatoes, so wouldnt be first choice if cooking on a budget but if you are entertaining its worth spending that bit extra
Made tomato soup with 2 cans of these and the result was awful. It tasted sour and just wasnt as flavourful. Ocado used to sell a different brand (Rega) that were really lovely and am disappointed in the change.
