 Best value for the genuine article IF you have PRIMEApr 29, 2011
By Aceto
"All knowledge is sorrow."
There is much confusion about tomatoes, and shopping on-line in this case adds to the complexity. These are not the best tomatoes offered at the time of this writing. The Strianese are hands down the best. My local store sells them. I have been using them for fifteen years. But they are significantly more expensive and the shipping is brutal. No Prime shipping with them. I use these specific Cento when I am not home. It all depends on how much your sauce means to you.
But you need to know what you are buying. These Cento tomatoes are 1) San Marzano sauce tomatoes; 2) they are D.O.P. certified 3) and this point is often overlooked, they are from the Sarnese Nocerino. They are the second best in terms of absolute flavor. Bright from proper acid, deep from proper natural salt/sugar balance. You probably cannot get better tomatoes fresh unless you know a specialty grower, or do it yourself and have no day job. Cento sells many others, much cheaper, that are not these.
The price per can is good. The best deal is if you have Amazon Prime and get regular shipments. I get three large batches per case, enough to feed the mob that forms on sauce day.
Most people are happy with the many good canned tomatoes, especially when you look at the poor genetically engineered ersatz "fresh" tomatoes at the supermarket. But if you are a maestro, these are what you want.

 CHEAP IMITATION - DO NOT BUYMay 20, 2011
By T. Evans
I've had a lot of San Marzano tomatoes in my day, both fresh and canned, and typically they are the best tomatoes on the planet. I opened the first can from this order, and the tomatoes weren't very good at all - nothing like I was used to. I later noticed that the can does not have the "D.O.P. Certified" label, like the photo on the Amazon page does. These tomatoes are not D.O.P. certified, and are not real San Marzano tomatoes. They are a cheap imitation. The seller tried to mimic the label of real san marzano tomatoes so they could sell them for a higher price. I would recommend you stay away from these. You can get better tomatoes for a fourth the price at your local grocery store.

Great Product, Awful PriceJan 05, 2010
By Andy The Bouncer
DOP San Marzano canned tomatoes are the finest canned tomatoes on the planet... but I can get these for literally half the price at my local grocery store. Is this unusual? Boston is pretty heavily Italian in some areas... maybe that makes a difference. i don't understand why anyone would buy them at this price. Check your local grocery store before you buy them at this price.

False advertising!Oct 07, 2011
By zen cowgirl
The label is misleading. Cento actually sells two kind of San Marzano with the same label other than one that says D.O.P. certified. You will receive the one w/o the D.O.P. if you order from Amazon. I have made the mistake in the grocery store not realizing Cento sells ones are D.O.P and ones that are not and did not realize till it was too late. The true D.O.P. ones I have to say make the best sauce! You can taste the difference.

False advertising!Sep 10, 2011
By ksmms
Buyer beware! The label on the Amazon site clearly states "D.O.P Certified" but the product received does NOT match the site label and does NOT state "D.O.P. Certified" This is bait and switch and I will file a complaint with Amazon.
