Special ordered Alta Cucina tomatoes upon recommendation from my parents, and I gotta say for those of you who have not tried these tomatoes yet you absolutely must! I was skeptical that these would make any difference over DOP Rega or Strianese which i normally use. But the cleanness and brightness of Alta Cucina really stood out. The only downside is that these cans are massive like 6 lbs! So keep that in mind and plan accordingly. The Pizza came out great but just a bit too oily this go around (Polly O plus the parm/pecorino/provolone/asiago blend balance I need to get right)

I like Altas taste-wise but find them to be a bit watery and loose. I’ve worked at multiple places that mix them with Valoroso or some other type of California plum tomato and it helps.
This is the easiest way to improve home made pizza IMO. Alta Cucina is so much better than any of the San marzano cans commonly available.
