 Great Tomatoes...Great PriceMay 29, 2010
By RubyLee
I found Carmelina's after researching tomatoes for pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, etc., and first tried them after picking up various brands at Whole Foods and other local markets & delis in my area. I can now say these are my definite favorites of all the kinds I've tried, be it DOP certified or non DOP certified. I also like that they have no basil or citric acid added, just tomatoes in puree. I can always add the other flavors when or if I choose.
Price wise, Amazon can't be beat. Average price I paid locally was $1.70 per can, (plus my time and gas to get there), compared with Amazon's price of approximately $1.20 a can. The free super saver shipping was an added attraction, and after placing my order, was pleasantly surprised to receive them in 4 days. Now that's what I call service!!!
They came packed in a Carmelina box from Italy, which was then put into an Amazon box in which some brown craft paper was wadded up on top to fill the space. As a previous poster has said, I also received 9 dented cans, but not so bad that I can't use them. Also on the plus side was the fact that the expiration date was months if not a year better than cans I picked up around town.
All in all, I'm very happy with the service provide by Amazon, and the product provided by Carmelina's, and will be a repeat customer in the future.

I crush these in the food processor and it makes good pasta sauce, too watery though for pizza sauce though.

From Italy con l'amoreDec 12, 2009
By Joseph Ekaitis
"author of Collinsfort Village"
We've replaced canned tomato sauce in all of our favorite recipes with these ravishing red beauties from Italy and we're never going back. Aside from being peeled and then pasteurized in the can, these San Marzano plum tomatoes are just about as fresh as when they were plucked off the vine in the Campania region of Italy. That means they aren't cooked until you cook them, and what a difference THAT makes, especially with sauces simmered all day in a slow cooker or thrown together on the spur of the moment in a pressure cooker.
Amazon.com's Free Super Saver shipping makes them a bargain compared to ordinary canned tomatoes and a steal versus the price of San Marzano tomatoes from the store.

Incredible San Marzano tomatoesMar 18, 2009
By LynnA
So sweet and rich I did a double-take at the calorie count of 75 calories per 14 oz can. These are true San Marzano tomatoes, regardless of whether they bear DOP label or not.

Great tomatoes at a great price March 2012Mar 27, 2011
By rgv1912
Do not be fooled by negative reviews that bring down these five-star tomatoes. Carmelina Brands resolved the issue with the Italian government and these are now labeled "San Marzano" tomatoes. They are not DOP certified and that is why they are at a great price. There is no basil or salt added so you cannot compare to other products that aren't just peeled tomatoes in puree. I am a 2nd generation Italian-American and have tried many brands of Italian tomatoes and domestic San Marzano tomatoes and these are fantastic tomatoes at a price that cannot be beat.
Amazon had serious shipment problems that resulted in many dented cans. Amazon reshipped several times at no charge but I continued to receive dented cans. Today I received a new shipment on my subscribe and save plan and not one dented can. Amazon placed the manufacturer's shipping box in another box with sufficient protection. Great Job Amazon.!
