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? 😂>

Mutti

Mutti for things that are tomato based. Tesco Italian ( much more water but no problems with stalk or skin) for things where the tomato is a background flavour as I find the mutti takes over as it's so tomatoey ( like passata with bits).

I only buy Mutti.

I use passatta too now. I had none the other week and used tinned tomatoes, I thought the bolognse did not taste if much.

Another vote for Mutti. It's often on offer in Sainsbury's.

Aldi. Never had a stalk and use several tins a week.

Lidl cheapest ones, ditto Sainsbury. Never ever had that problem. Also Lidl tinned miniature tomatoes are excellent - can't remember the technical term!

Used to use Cirio, now only Mutti. You don't need to add sugar. The cheaper own brands are poor quality and acidic.

I was where you are a few months back, feeling utterly mugged off as I fished core of out my dishes. Also switched to Mutti on Amazon and wish I’d done it years ago.

I’ve done it….Ive ordered Mutti from Amazon…thanks for the recommendations. I feel like this might be a life changing moment 😂

I have taken to buying Mutti because like you I got fed up with other brands, particularly when there are bits of skin in among it. I didn't know Lidl did a similar product, thanks to the PP who mentioned that, will try it next time I am in there.

and Morrisons at the moment, 3.75x4

I love tomatoes on toast. Mutti chopped tomatoes are perfect. I also sometime heat a tin and eat them with a spoon like soup!

Lidl tinned toms are the best that I've found, but I usually buy the tins of whole plum tomatoes and chop them myself. The juice is thicker as well.

Like others, since I discovered Mutti I don't use anything else.

I also get their canned whole tomatoes - lovely on toast!

Seconded. Mutti are the best

Mutti are also available in Sainsburys, I find when they are on offer in one place they are everywhere else too, they seem to come down to £1/tin (packs of 4) every few months. I often buy in bulk, again the price varies a lot. I am in a pizza oven FB group and usually find out from there that they are on offer.

We get these. Great quality. Never had an issue.

I've been using Aldi tinned tomatoes for years, never had a problem with them.

I found some of those in Aldi, they're delicious

Yes Aldi tinned Cherry toms are nice as are their chunky chopped tomatoes. I’m normally mixing them in to dishes with herbs and spices so seems a waste to spend more even if they are superior. Definitely never had a stalk. Though some people add the stalk as it adds flavour to a dish before removing.

Mutti are great

I do this too, although I buy both types of tomatoes in tins, chopped and plum, from Aldi and Lidl. If I'm feeling flush, I occasionally buy Mutti and Cirio when I see them.

One of the food writers in a newspaper, might have been the Guardian, said she uses plum tomatoes from a tin as they were usually better quality and the juice was thicker.

Mutti ( although pricey) and cirio - both very good - mutti are particularly good in recipes

Ooh we don't have a Lidl that close (about 3 miles) but will pop in and get some -
