I like buying pasta sauce with real Italian tomatoes, so I bought this brand last week (found it at Target).
It says “made in Italy” all over it but nowhere does it say the tomatoes are from Italy. I have reason to believe they’re using imported tomatoes from Asia and bottling them in Italy.
The parent company was sued for false advertising for doing something similar with olive oil a few years ago.
Such a fucking scam man. Just spend your money on an American brand at that point.
If you want a good Italian brand use Mutti.

What do you think about this word as a brand name?
To me it's double fun because Merkel was called Mutti (diminutive of Mutter(mother) and mutt+i. Like mutt or muddy

AFAIK even "made with Italian tomatoes" is legal to contain up to 49% of Chink tomato concentrate.

You're probably better off buying tomatoes that have been canned in the US. So long as you understand which variety is being used at what farms.

It has different connotations in Italian.
Mutti works with good farmers to make sure they’re getting quality tomatoes from around Italy.
Italian tomatoes taste noticeably different from American tomatoes, they’re more aromatic. It’s one of the main things Italians notice when they go to America.

Get it when it’s buy one get one free or it’s not worth it. I buy all that stuff buy one get one free. It’s always on sale. I bought bunch of the cheap stuff at that. Ends up being like 1,50 a jar. Value. The better stuff doesn’t taste that much better if you’re half ass cooking the pasta like me anyways.

It's a hassle to peel and stew fresh tomatos and the benefit is marginal unless you've really great tomatos. I buy canned tomato, whole peeled or diced, doesn't matter, stew them, add spices, then one of the tiny cans of tomato paste near the end to bring to color from pink back to nice red.

They do the same with pasta. One brand said something to the effect of "Italy's favorite pasta!" but when you looked at the bottom it said it was made in some US state. Yea I'm sure Italians are buying pasta made in fucking Wisconsin.
