Review: Contadina is second only to Heinz when it comes to tomato products. I see this stuff everywhere! It's easily recognizable because the illustrated woman on the label is drawn in such a way so that some people with certain biases may view her as an all-American housewife from the 1950's while others may view her as a woman of South America working in the tomato fields. I'm not saying that there is an ulterior motive in Contadina's labeling. I'm just saying that I be it took the artist a long time to get the woman's features "just right."
As far as the paste behind the woman, I've never been disappointed. Contadina Tomato Paste is slightly sweet and extremely thick with a surprisingly fresh biting taste of tomatoes to it. One good option for this puree is to mix it in with a pot of freshly cooked rice, then top with olives. It sounds weird, but trust me, it's damn good... and simple.
Rating: 4.25 / 5

you should try their crushed tomatoes, but not the bullshit flavored with roasted garlic kind, just the plain crushed tomatoes. You'll find them in a 16 oz. can.
Two cans of crushed tomatoes, one can of water, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Goodnight.
Sounds good.
Thanks for the heads up!
