If you were in Rochester, I'd bet you a case of beer you couldn't tell the
difference between San Marzano and any of the the better canned products
produced domestically. If you could, the whole experiment would change in
two months due to the vagaries of weather in both places.


And you'd most likely lose. The San Marzano's (plum) are meatier and not as
sweet or acidic as the domestic variety.
The taste (for me) is even more noticeable once cooked, especially if the
sauce isn't ruined with too much spice.
