I’m out on the west coast of the US.
I compared Muir Glen “regular” vs san marzano-style whole canned tomatoes a year or two back. The regular was sweeter and more balanced than the san marzano styles. The Muir Glen regulars are still a little more acidic than I’d like, though.
I was pretty impressed with the black-labelled safeway signature select whole tomatoes (haven’t tried the green-labelled safeway signature farms version yet). They are sweeter and less salty than the MGs, but the head of my immersion blender doesn’t fit in the 28oz can.
Red gold whole tomatoes, unlike everything above, are packed in puree. They seem to be less sweet even than the MG.
Haven’t tried cento tomatoes, but maybe I will once I’ve cleared all the cans in the pantry. I go through them in bursts, haha
