Taste test results

Surprisingly both Kev and I preferred the Rao's.  Not sure what happened as I was all ready to pick the Cento without even tasting but after cooking the Rao's is definitely more zippy and tomato tasting.  The Cento mellowed out and didn't have the acidity that I expected it to.  Not that it's bad.  For today the Rao's is the winner but, as I said before, I wouldn't hesitate to use either of these brands in the future :)

Can you e-mail me a recipe? We are trying to move away from store-bought sauce (too much salt / not enough flavour)...

I live in Brooklyn Heights NY, and came to the same results! (I couldn't get a hold of all the different S.M. tomato brands though =[ )

Rao's tasted the best by far (didn't get a hold of the Cento until today) Unfortunately my local store stopped carrying them!

Do you know of any other retail stores that carry Rao's? I don't think theres a Fresh Market in NY as per there web site.

I personally don't know of any other retail stores that carry Rao's. Have you tried inquiring at their New York restaurant location? They could probably point you in the right direction :)

Have you found that you're on the quest to find all the S.M. brands possible?
