The Passata was slightly flat to me (not as bad as the Carbone’s upthread). So it’ll be interesting to see what the Mutti Marinara is like whenever I get to it.
Looks like the La Regina is available near me - but a good bit further away in Watertown, Beverly, or Concord. Too far for marinara. LOL
La Regina? Since we moved from NY to Northern Florida the internet has become a good friend. I get my French butter online, my passata from an Italian place on line. La San Marzano available on line too. This is the passata I used. Great tomato flavor.
Those various tomato purees make a fine base for marinara.
So, two more marinara sauces have been tried in the last couple of weeks.
Muir Glen Classic Marinara - I rate this one as Good. Not great; not pretty good, but not horrible. Decent tomato taste, but nothing like the freshness of Michael’s of Brooklyn. Just solidly in the middle of the Good range. Better than Rao’s? No. But I won’t buy it regularly unless on a deep sale.
But it was nowhere near the disappointment of the next one I tried today.
Yo Mama’s Original Marinara - this has been the worst of all the ones I’ve tried. Very bland. Tomato taste was watery and weak, if that’s an appropriate adjective phrase for a tomato sauce. There was a whole lot of nothing. Using this JUST as a plain marinara sauce would end up with a majorly disappointing and bland dish. This is a “Don’t Bother, Not Worth It”.
I think I have Alessi, Silver Palate Low Sodium, and Mutti marinaras left to try (as noted upthread, Ive tried the Mutti passata). Oh, and I have a tetrapak of Pomi marinara, but I’ve had their strained tomatoes before and rate them pretty highly for tomato taste. Probably right after Michael’s of Brooklyn. So I’m hoping the marinara is as good as the strained and chopped tomatoes.
Good to know! I think I saw the Yo Mama at Ocean State Job Lots, among many other brands I’d never heard of.
TFTOFTT!
Yup, I’ve seen it there as well (or another version of their jarred sauces if not the marinara). But this had an HG label on the bottom.
