Italian Chef BLIND PASSATA Taste Test

Passata is a fundamental ingredient, a staple in hundreds of recipes, and is more than just a sauce; it's a burst of summer in every spoonful, allowing you to enjoy great-tasting tomatoes even when they aren’t in season. And with so many options available on the market, our BlindFolded PASSATA Taste Test explores which brand truly delivers the best flavor. Join me as we blind taste test our way through the supermarket shelves. We're on a quest to discover which passatas deliver the vibrant, fresh flavor of real tomatoes, and which fall short, tasting more like they're processed. Are you ready to transform your cooking with the right passata?
Watch the video as I taste test a variety, not knowing which brand they are until the end. Find it on YouTube or continue reading this article and discover the best sauce to complement your pasta.

That Mutti scored so well is a win for everyone because it's available everywhere. ❤❤❤

From my experience always look at the ingredients and if you have the choice buy the ones that only have tomatoes and salt in it, those are much less acidic.

Reconstituted does not mean re-used. It means water or some other liquid was use to rehydrate something that was dried. You normally see it when dried mushrooms are soaked in warm water to soften them up or when dried chiles are soaked in hot water before turning them into some sort of sauce in Spanish\Mexican cooking. Those tomatoes were dried.

I'm really happy to find this video. We use Rosso in Serbia, its more affordable than Mutti, but better. Thank you dear Vincenzo. Greetings from Belgrade 🇷🇸

What I took away from this video: all Passatas smell like Tomatoes

[Dexiefy]

I love Mutti personally. The taste, the texture, simple (2) ingredients... Makes any sauce better.

I’ve just recently switched to basically using Mutti everything (paste Passata tomatoes since DOP’s tough to find here, tomato sauce is now available near me) my family have noticed a nice difference in my sauces. Mutti seems to be a bit of a step up from the regular crap but it’s readily available. Very happy with it

[zzzut]

I’ve been buying Mutti passata by the six-pack for years. Great taste and very affordable. It never disappoints.

A recommendation: Blind taste testing different pasta brands with the winner of this passata.

[roseannamarotta]

You are such a joy and bring laughter while watching as you show us all how to buy tasty ingredients.

Cucina Matese is a white label’d product that’s owned by Coles, it’s actually really good value for money and their dried pasta is also great

[elcasho]

I recently started using rosso, agree it is delicious

[andreiko]

there are 3 important criteria in passata, one is the brix rating which will give you an idea of the quantity of sugars present in tomato passato (juice, sauce, puree) the other one is whether the passata was obtained by actually sieving tomatoes ( and by the way what are some of the " passata" in the video doing with seeds? if the tomatoes are crushed first the term passata means they are saved ) or if the passata is made by diluting puree (much cheaper but easily high content of sugars). The other one, mentioned is the acidity. A VERY important thing is that in some areas of Italy (namely Naples) people like a more acidic tomato passata (or any other product) which may account for the Cirio passata being more acidic. Generally speaking tomato product producers cater different products for different markets. Ideally one would als know the TYPE of tomatoes used. Pomodorinii, for example, give a naturally sweeter sauce (but is sweet always better?).

In case anyone wonders

1) I am Neapolitan
2) I have worked in the food industry

Just got back from my first trip to Italy, I'm obsessed with italian cooking and trying to learn how to cook authentic Italian meals from the uk. I love your videos and find your accent really relaxing so I've been watching your videos in the evening taking notes 😁

[AlexPellerin.]

Rosso Gargano is available at costco in canada (Quebec) It's so good and cheep since it's costco

[patrykgurgul]

I'm happy that Mutti is so high, because it's available in Poland quite easily. So I can go the supermarket and buy it blindly.

[bradbrisbane]

Thank you for this. When i saw your first tasting i askined for a blind tasting so you wouldnt habe preconceived thought's. Someone told me you re did one so came back to check it out. Thank you

[AY-qfpg]

These videos are my favourite.

Thank you Vincenzo.

I love Mutti too!

[nancymiller]

The only brand I have found in US (not near a big city) is Cento. It’s made in Italy, ingredients are tomatoes and sea salt (only), it’s smooth, and is only about $3.

[CeticWales]

Mutti is the brand I use for passata, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes.
