Great Value Tomato Paste, 6 oz

I don't remember which chef said this but I'll never forget what he said, "When making a pizza don't use tomato sauce, do yourself a favor, use tomato paste with a bit of italian seasoning. " I have to agree. the seasoning light or heavy works with the paste and it doesn't drip and scald you, It's a bit challenging to spread, Mix seasoning and paste in a bowl to make it a bit more spreadable. I'll never waste money on pizza sauce again.

It's tomato paste. Made from tomatoes. It's not spicy, unless you think tomatoes are spicy. Great Value brand is fine. Tip for savings %26 value: There's no need to use name brand tomato paste - there can't possibly be any benefit for name brand tomato paste unless you have to have organic or something. We add it to stews, chili, soups to add a richer flavor %26 a thickness. We usually have it with beans, meat %26 beans, and also use the diced %26 stewed Great Value canned tomatoes. I like the Italian seasoned Petite diced tomatoes, but that's not necessary.

Great value never disappoints. I made a lasagna soup and also used the great value diced tomatoes and great value tomato sauce. I added herbs, ground beef and great value bow tie pasta noodles in a crock pot and cooked on low a few hours. A few shreds of mozzarella on top and you've got a great value great meal! 🥣

Excellent tomato paste and at an excellent price. While the best tomato paste comes in the cardboard tubes, Thereby preserving the most flavor as the canning process itself does induce its own flavor. I can't say using it out of a can has ever made a difference for me, however, it does tend to be an expensive item, so I have never personally used a tube version yet. Even Amazon can't beat the price of Walmart. I also highly recommend walmart plus as the monthly fee is very small and the savings are huge, especially when I can put something like this on repeat and save even more. Also, being able to cancel or skip a subscription at my leisure.So there's never any pressure. I use this with seasoning like basil to make my own tomato and basil soup, and it comes out flawless at a fraction of the cost.And i'm all about the cost.

Being a canned sauce with a Walmart name and a very non-exciting label on the can, I really didn't expect much. However, I was wrong. I grew a lot of tomatoes and I make a lot of my own sauce but when that's not possible for whatever reason., this is what I grab and then I Doctor it up to my liking. I can use this as a baseline and make a pizza sauce, and there are different types of pizza sauce, or I can cook it and make it into a spaghetti sauce, or a great marinara sauce for meatballs. I think I have perfected my home pizza making and whenever I'm doing a New York style, Detroit style or Tavern type, I use this to supplement either fresh tomatoes, tomato purée, or even whole tomatoes.

I'm kind of old school, so yeah I thought that name brands were a better quality. But I was wrong. this is a must in my pantry. I I think great value has wonderful taste and quality.

Boy oh boy these cans is small! And once you cut open the can what do you do with the leftovers? I usually just scoop the rest in and hope for the best even if it ends up tasting tomatoey.

The great value brand of tomatoe paste is as good as any other brands out there. You get a quality product at a reasonable price. Tastes good and is thick and heavy as it should be. I like that I was able to buy in a case. Very economical.

Stocking up on Tomato products. I have always been happy with the Great Value products. We think this tomato paste is especially good. Not too sweet, and a nice texture.

No spiciness at all. Texture is a bit grainy, so I switch to tomato sauce (unseasoned) when making stew. Tomatoes seem a bit bland nowadays, so I tried this on Tricuit crackers for a snack. Eh, stronger flavor than fresh tomatoes, but still not what I wanted primarily due to the graininess in texture. Tomato sauce would be too runny on crackers for a snack, so I'll stick with fresh Roma tomatoes on crackers. Even in stew, I could feel the graniness, so I switched to tomato sauce. It isn't bad, just not the texture I wanted. Otherwise, the product tastes reasonably fresh for canned paste. Very similar to name-brand pastes in a can.
