 AMORE TOMATO PASTE TUBES January 6, 2009
THIS IS A FINE TOMATO PASTE. I THINK ALL TOMATO PASTE SHOULD COMES IN TUBES AND NOT IN CANS. CANNED TOMATO PASTE WASTES PRODUCT IS YOU ONLY NEED A COUPLE OF TEASPOON FULLS FOR A RECIPE.
YOU END UP THROWING THE REST OF THE CANNED PRODUCT AWAY BECAUSE IT OXIDIZES AND SPOILS.
Great product December 14, 2008

Tomato paste in a tube? Well I wouldn't buy it any other way! How many times have you only needed a few tablespoons full and then wondered what to do with the rest of the can? Here's the solution. The opened tubes will keep for extended periods of time in the refrigerator. I bought a case and haven't wasted a drop.
LUV THIS!!! February 15, 2008

This paste is the greatest invention since popcorn. I use it in several of my recipes.......... veggies, soups, pasta, pizza, casseroles and the list goes on. I always purchase 12 tubes at a time and even give them as hostess gifts to friends. They love it also. So convenient and you don't waste an entire can of tomato paste when you only need a tablespoon or two in a recipe. Very concentrated and lots of flavor.
Great taste and convenient December 17, 2007

In the past, I just didn't use tomato paste very often. That's because most brands are just nasty. We'd always have a can of Hunt's or Contadina around, but I'd always be disappointed whenever I used them. It's really annoying to, say, make homemade enchilada sauce, have it taste mediocre, and then add insult to injury by having to throw away half a can of leftover tomato paste.
Amore, by contrast, actually keeps the bright tomato flavor. Since it's in tubes, there's none of the "tinny" taste so common to canned foods. And it's so easy to squeeze out a small amount that I use it all the time. There are all sorts of soups and sauces that can benefit from a little tomato flavor, but which don't justify opening a whole can of paste. (Not to mention the fact that most canned pastes would make the food taste worse, not better.)
There are only two mysteries about this product for me. First, a 1 1/2 tablespoon serving has 2 grams of fat. No other tomato pastes I looked at contain fat. Since the ingredients are only tomato paste and salt, I have to wonder where this fat comes from. The second mystery is that they label the box as "double concentrated." As far as I can tell, it's no more concentrated than any other tomato paste: I still have to use exactly the same amount in a recipe, it just tastes better than the other brands.
But I'll forgive Amore the mysterious fat and exaggerated labeling. This has become a cooking essential in my kitchen.
