Finely Chopped Tomatoes 400g (Pack of 6)

These are easily the best tinned tomatoes I have used and they get a definite five stars from me. The quality is noticeably better than standard supermarket brands. They have a rich, vibrant red colour and a naturally sweet taste that means I rarely have to add any sugar to my sauces. Because they are finely chopped, they break down perfectly and create a smooth, thick consistency for pasta sauces, soups, as well as my home made pizzas!! You can really tell they use high quality sun ripened tomatoes because there is no metallic aftertaste and very little water in the tin. They are a bit more expensive than basic tins but the difference in flavour is well worth the extra cost. They have become a permanent staple in my kitchen cupboard and something that I consistently purchase from Amazon.

Excellent quality tomatoes which have been crushed rather than — the more usual — chopped. As a result the contents are thick and smooth, not the more familiar lumps of tomato swimming in a watery bath of thin tomato juice that needs to be heavily reduced before using a bless you’re adding it to a slow cooker dish and are happy to have the extra liquid. These are different. The contents barely need more than a stir and you’ve got a perfectly thick ragu ready to use on its own as a pizza topping or to add to other dishes. The flavour is also excellent. deep and rich unlike most tinned tomatoes which I find very acidic and which need to be heavily reduced in a good splash of olive oil over a high heat until they begin to caramelise slightly and change colour. Tip: skip the spoonful of sugar hack to reduce acidity. (I, for one, can always taste when sugar has been added to a tomato-based sauce and find it rather unpleasant.) Instead it’s well worth taking 20 minutes or so to really reduce any tinned tomatoes before using them, even these. (They respond wonderfully and result is deeply rich.) ,) The trick is to take the time, keep stirring, and don’t be afraid of the heat: give it some welly! If I have time I like to reduce the tomato pulp almost to a paste that is beginning to separate from the oil, the natural sugars in the tomato having slightly caramelised in the heat, and is taking on a deep, almost burgundy, red colour. Then I just add whatever liquid — stock, wine or just plain water — I need to cook the dish. I know it sounds a faff just for the family midweek spag Bol, but you can be doing it while you boil the pasta water and cook it. (I find it quite soothing and stress reducing any way, and if a were an organised sort of person — I’m so not! — I’d cook a big batch one time then freeze portions to simply chuck into whatever soup or sauce or casserole I was making.) If you can give your toms this little bit of extra care you’ll find it not only reduces any sharpness. leaving just a touch to offset the richness, but also gives your sauce the kind of depth and richness you can pass off to guests as having been slowly reducing in the oven for hours, just like your imaginary Italian great aunt used to do. Back to these particular tinned tomatoes, if all the above seems altogether too much and all you want to do is chuck a tin of toms in your sauce you’ll find these already have a much deeper, less acidic, more flavourful and thick consistency than the average tin of chopped tomatoes. But if you can find the time and energy to follow my advice you’ll be rewarded with the most deliciously rich and tomato-y sauce you’ve ever had. More expensive? Sure. A bit. But in my view well worth it. You are getting so much more tomato for your money. I reckon if you have a recipe that normally uses two tins of chopped tomatoes you could probably use just one of these. And if, like me, you’ve always found making shakshuka(sp?) disappointingly thin and watery, try making it with these: a revelation!

Honest to god i dunno what we've been using all these years. These tomatoes are so good they make you question what you've been using before. Well worth the extra. I'll only buy these now. They're spectacular. They're not watery, they're lovely and rich. Nice thickness. Easy use with easy can to open. What me do you want? Buy em!

These are the best tinned tomatoes I've ever bought - the quality is SO much better than the "cheap" normal brands that can be had in supermarkets or online. The consistency is thicker and you the taste is so much nicer - I use them in so many different ways - from a topping for pizza bases through to chili recipes or bolognese. Totally worth the tiny bit extra you spend to cook with Mutti.

I buy when they're approx. £6 Far better than the usual brands of chopped tomatoes. Nice, thick, tasty. Always use this for lasagna, spaghetti Bolognese etc.

Nice but want mutti organic and cant buy!

The 6-pack arrived impeccably packaged in a sturdy cardboard tray with protective film, keeping everything secure during delivery. Being Italian, quality tomatoes aren't negotiable. They're essential. While Italy offers far more variety, finding reliable canned tomatoes in the UK is challenging, which makes Mutti a guarantee I trust. The moment you open a can, you notice the aroma straight away: bright red colour, excellent consistency, and a flavour profile that's perfectly balanced with the right acidity. They work beautifully in every preparation: pasta sauces, soups, stews, and even curries (yes, I cook beyond Italian cuisine because I genuinely love food in all its forms). One big plus is the ingredient list: tomatoes (99.8%) and salt. Nothing else. No additives, just pure tomato. The value is exceptional. I regularly find them discounted on Amazon, often dropping below £1 per can. That's a price point you'd struggle to match even in Italy, making stock rotation effortless and affordable. As someone who refuses to compromise on tomato quality, I keep these stocked at all times.
