Look For One Addition To Get The Best Canned San Marzano Tomatoes
By MATTHEW SPINA
Italian San Marzano tomatoes are considered the cream of the tomato crop, and through the magic of canning, you can buy and enjoy them with ease.
Plain tomatoes are versatile and work fine, but if you want canned San Marzano tomatoes with the best flavor, check the ingredients and find yourself a can that includes basil.
Basil's mix of sweetness and herbal spice rounds out acidic tomatoes, and the herb's strong flavor can stand up to the extended cooking times of sauces and stews.
Whether you chop them for sandwiches and salads or cook them, canned San Marzano tomatoes with basil will always shine through and add a burst of flavor to your dishes.
Although some people still prefer basic San Marzanos packed in their natural juices, the basil-infused tomatoes are a perfect match if you love cooking Italian dishes.
