This Is Not Real Tomato Paste (Even Though The Can Says So)

First
Cento is very good
My new favorite channel.
Cento is pronounced "Chen-toe."
Now I want some of the real paste made in to sauce, over some real pasta.
Thank You!
Ketchup may not be the best option, thank you for sharing.
I want to Swear in Italian
Cento San
Marzano is my favorite …ITS THE REAL DEAL.
Time to start reducing tomatoes 🍅 on your leisure day
I don't use tomato paste for flavor. I grow my own tomatoes and vegetables which I use to make my own tomato sauce. I only use tomato paste for a bit more thickening, which allows me to make more sauce from the available materials without adversely affecting flavor.
Concentrate VS reconstituted. Each has its own purpose.
Nothing is real anymore, it's all fake, yet they lie to us about the quality of products and we believe their lies.
there is a documentary on tomatoes on YT and even Italian tomatoes are often from China.
Muir Glen is only a hair better than Hunts. Contadina tastes horrible. Idk what store he goes to where its more expensive but its definitely a discount brand everywhere ive lived around the country. The worst brands ive ever had are Our Family from D&W and whatever the store brand was at Harris Teter.
Do you ever use enough paste that you can really taste it? Like is it worth spending THAT much money on the fancy stuff? For me its not.
To concentrate you have to use high heat so nothing about this makes since
I pretty much use Cento , Muti and Trader Joe’s brand but i hardly use paste. I only use it for certain dish as an augment.
The narrator suddenly lets loose with his best Italian accent at 16:51 🤣
Top three tomato paste
1. Cento
2. Multti
3. Cento San Merzons
to use the analogy of a box of wine isn't real to a wine snob
Wondering about Costco’s Kirkland brand.
This is complete BS. Grocery store tomato paste is a crushed, cooked, concentrated, commercially canned (high temp) product. Hunts tomatoes are 100% california grown without "concentration-reconstruction" steps. Tomatoes picked on monday are in cans getting shipped out wednesday. Some brands taste better than others, just like everything else in the grocery store.
Apparently all great value products are terrible 😮
Why they do this. They making people sick! 🫨
It’s all about money, I get it
Using way too many AI images.
Definitely a lot of AI in here. I’m always skeptical of any videos that have only voice-over audio. In addition to the faked Italian accent, note that at the 5:51 point about Libby’s brand, there are 3 B’s in the picture of the can!
I use either Mutti or Cento😊
I ONLY USE CENTO!
China again. Disgusting food, disgusting government. The envy of every Democrat.
Another click-bait video to gather views and likes from someone that can’t distinguish the hidden parts of his anatomy from a hole in the ground. It’s sad that so many people take these uninformed videos from these type of useless individuals. These are the sites your mom told you to stay away from.
I buy Cento when ever I can get a good price. I also try to get tomato puree when I can find them. Even a bad brand can make a great chili. 😅 Oh don't forget ketchup. I don't remember what brand but I do remember that trucks sitting in the yard while they go "bad" so then they make the ketchup.
Now if we knew what GV tomatoes were concentrated in Italy that would be perfect 😁
Never knew Libbey's made tomato products. 😮 If Seneca can't make decent apple sauce how can they make a decent tomato paste?
I grew up on Contadina but its nothing like the homemade sauce I make and can from home grown tomatoes, now.
Another way to get tomato paste flavor is to use dried tomatoes. If you dry your own they can be dried without ever getting them to a very high temperature. They keep a long time in vacuum bags, submerged in oil, or frozen in vacuum bags.
