Tinned chopped tomatoes that are not all stalk and skin

[baffledmummy]

Just that really…what are the best tinned tomatoes? I’ve just fished out a ton of stalk and skin from tins of Napolina and am grumpy about it. About 10 stalks in one tin! I’ve also tried M&S and Waitrose as I thought they might be a bit more “premium” alas no…they were just as bad.
Any recommendations on tins that are consistently (relatively) free from skins and stalk? I don’t mind paying more for great quality but the go-to beacons of quality have failed me.
<also are my expectations too high? 😂>

I always buy whole tin tomatoes and squish them myself. I read once they are higher grade than chopped

I've seen this recommendation many times, squeeze them by hand. It makes sense as it much easier to hide poor quality content in a tin of pre-chopped tomatoes.

This! I’ve tried every bloody tin of tomatoes and Mutti are by far the best. They taste sublime. I buy bulk when on offer.

I've never heard of Mutti either but will have to try them now. Are they widely available?

They were recommended to me in my local butchers/deli. I haven’t looked back since. I now get them from Ocado as the deli has since closed.

Mutti always, Cirio if absolutely no Mutti available. Amazon UK often have 12 packs of Mutti for £10 or so which is a great price.

You can buy them in Waitrose - but cheapest to bulk buy on Amazon.

Honestly the most transformational food product I’ve bought, vs the cost.

It's this skin I can't handle, actually makes me gag. So I buy cheap whole plum, and dissect them myself, removing skin and stalk, then use a potato masher on them!

As they're so cheap, I use twice as many tins, but it's still cheaper than the premium brands!

Thanks MidnightPatrol.

Mutti - I swear by these.

I had never heard of Mutti either. Am off to search for some now.

Biona are good too, but like Mutti they are pricey if not on offer

You can get Mutti in packs of 6 from Amazon, often cheapest place

Cirio. Won't have any other.

I get Mutti on subscribe and save from Amazon. Currently £13.11 for 12 tins but I wouldn’t buy anything else now

Mutti!

I also use Mutti pizza sauce when making Bolognese. Food of the gods.

Depends what I’m making but Mutti or Cirio. Cirio chunks are slightly bigger than the Mutti so I use those if I want something a bit chunkier.

Mutti. They're what my Italian MIL uses.

I've never had stalks or skins, but usually have the Mutti on offer or passata

If I need a bit of extra juice in a dish I've been using the tinned cherry tomatoes and leaves them whole

Mutti, or whatever brand you're getting and then whizz them for a moment in the blender.

Lidl own brand, never had an issue

I have never, ever experienced this? 😲

Aldi tinned tomatoes are great and about 30p a tin.

Mutti are the best tinned tomatoes I've ever eaten, they are elite. All the years I spent buying the cheap ones I regret

Yes exactly

I get Mutti Polpa delivered on Amazon Prime. It’s not much more expensive than cheapo tins.
