This is a quality product and hard to find locally where I live so I had to order online. The product came fully intact so not sure why the lower reviews showing the product loose. All of my tubes were in a box like I would buy at the grocery store.I have used this product and the flavor is fantastic. I like that I can close it up properly and not waste like the cans of tomato paste. I have tried putting the canned paste in an airtight container but it always spoils before I can use the entire can.Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality product at a great price.

I love the fact with the lid is resealable. Good taste!

Will never use another tomato paste product. The best out there

This is very hard to find. I use this paste in most of my tomato sauces, marinades, and dips. Very little sweetness.

Buying tomato paste in a tube is a game-changer for me. Tomato paste in the metal cans is super cheap in my area but I cook for one and although I typically make two or three servings of what I’m cooking I tend to only use part of the can. With the best intentions I put the leftover in the refrigerator since I have a very small freezer but I would say easily 3 out of 5 times this leftover portion gets moldy before I have an opportunity to use it.The price per ounce for this product is significantly more than the cans but I’m looking at the trade off of not wasting any product and also not purchasing all those metal cans as well.It tastes great, is super thick just like paste from the can but it’s so much easier to dispense and measure out when you’re using a precise measurement.This is a great deal when using the subscribe and save option for purchasing.

I’ve used Tomato Paste in a tube for years … so easy to use and measure out amounts in a recipe, vs. a small can or jar. Cento is the best in my opinion…price value relationship is high, Have never had any issues with leakage, or spoilage. Their tube is hand friendly. It just works.

EXCELLENT product and value for the money (and taste). One tube is the equivalent to a small can of tomato paste, but sooooo much easier to store what you don’t use (store it in the fridge once opened). Actually ended up stashing a tube in each of the adults’ Xmas stocking.

Espectacular la calidad y lo q dirán estos productos! Mi papá las usa para cocinar y le sale riquísima la salsa

This is a great option to ensure your excess tomato paste does not go bad before next needed use as air does not have option to access paste in tube to spoil quickly.
