Pomi Tomatoes, Strained, 26.46-Ounce Carton (Pack of 12)

This product is wonderful: The consistency is not unlike a tomato sauce. It is thick enough to coat a spoon, so don't think of this as akin to diced tomatoes. This has a pure tomato flavor and is silky smooth. It would be a great base for pizza sauce or any Italian/Greek/American red sauce. It is unsweetened, unsalted and not spiced, making it the perfect blank palate. I make a very authentic bolognaise sauce and this will be a welcome addition, albeit in a small amount.I bought the 12-pack and am happy to have made the investment. A few boxed tomato products have recently shown up at my local grocery store and are priced within the range I paid through Amazon for the Pomi. Don't be fooled by the sales graphic, which makes the box look small--this has over three cups of sauce--a nice sized portion. According to directions, it will keep under refrigeration for 4-5 days. I suspect leftover sauce can be frozen. Last night I used it in a shrimp, green bean and couscous dish--with a few spices (garlic, oregano, allspice, salt, pepper, and lemon pepper), I had a winner.I don't often review food products, since there is not much to say about national brands of cookie or colas. But this product is a bit of a game changer. With its intense and pure tomato taste, this can fit into any recipe with ease.

I'm hooked on Pomi chopped tomatoes so had to try this as well. I cannot say enough good things about Pomi tomatoes in any form. You get rid of the horrid BPA scare of tomatoes in a can. And all Pomi products actually taste like tomatoes! What's not to love? OK, yeah, pricey. But, sometimes you just have to decide on how important health is to you and bite the bullet.OK...the down side. Even with prime membership, it takes a while to get your order. It's still covered....it just doesn't come in 2 days if you live in the NW. So, order ahead and be patient.You'll love all the Pomi tomatoes, turn into a rock star in the kitchen with your spaghetti sauces and soups and can play dumb when somebody asks you what you did to make it all taste so good. Trust me. I made quinoa/sweet potato chili tonight (no meat) and 3 bowls evaporated from under my carnivore/omnivore hubby (who complained about no meat at first) faster than I could get my first bowl eaten.Buy them. Be healthy and happy.

I’ve been trying to find PONI strained tomatoes since my local grocery discontinued it. This is the best product for making pasta sauce or gravy as my Italian family calls it. My mother used to take whole cans of tomatoes and strain them through a sieve and it would take forever. For a year before she passed when she was 84 and still making gravy I brought her POMI and at first she didn’t believe that it could work or be as good as her strained tomatoes and paste but POMI won her over! What a time saver! Don’t use tomato purée it is too acidic because it includes the skins and seeds. POMI does not! Happy to get a case of 24 since it doesn’t expire until 2020. Excellent product and Amazon seller. Prompt prime delivery. Thank you!!!

We have been noticing that the tomatoes are oxidizing each time we open a container. The expiration date is not for another few months and we have to throw away an entire case of each of the strained and the chopped ones because they have come to the point where they taste VERY acidic and almost smoked. That's nearly eighty bucks in the garbage!

I quit using canned tomatoes as experts have learned that the acid in the tomatoes works on the can lining producing unhealthy results. These don't have that problem plus the contents is tomatoes and not all of the added ingredients that are in canned tomatoes. I use them for Italian sauces and Mexican style salsa and hot sauce.

The order came well wrapped and protected. I have made my own sauce for years and have recently switched over to the non-canned tomato products. These tomatoes from Italy make fabulous sauce! If you're the sauce making type, you can either cut open the boxes of strained tomatoes (I find five individual boxes make just about the right amount) and put them right in the pot OR you can pour the strained tomatoes into a blender and puree them even more before putting it in to cook. The first batch of sauce I made with Pomi was suono buono!!! They say there's something about tomatoes grown in Italy that tastes even better than the domestic and after tasting this sauce, I'd have to concur. Buy Pomi by the dozen and you'll have enough on hand for awhile to make your sauce. I highly recommend this!!

The case of 12 arrived in a timely matter in August. The expiration date is Feb 20, 2020. There is only two in the household, don't think I will be able to use them. Will be giving them away. Will not order again. Need to be able to order is a smaller amount.

The tomatoes are delicious, but 4 of the 12 cartons leaked in my kitchen cabinet. All cartons were fine when they arrived. The 4 leaky ones were in the rear of a lower cabinet, so by the time I found them the leaking tomato sauce had made my cabinets a moldy mess.
