Cento Tomato Sauce, Italiano

Cento Tomato Sauce, Italiano (15 oz) is a familiar, shelf-stable pasta sauce you’d spot in the canned/pasta sauce aisle alongside other tomato products, canned tomatoes, olive oil and boxed pasta. The label leans on Italian-American family heritage — “Recipes from our family” and “All natural” — positioning the brand toward shoppers who want an authentic, no‑fuss Italian pantry staple without bells and whistles. It reads as a value-minded, heritage brand for home cooks who appreciate tradition and short ingredient lists rather than trendy organic or specialty claims; there is no organic certification or child-focused branding. The ingredient list is simple: water, tomato concentrate, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and spices, and nutrition highlights include low calories (20), modest sugars (2 g) and relatively elevated sodium (300 mg) per serving. Processing context: this is a canned, reconstituted tomato sauce — commercially processed but made from recognizable culinary ingredients. Sensory notes: expect a smooth, slightly thickened tomato texture with the bright acidity of concentrate, warm dried onion and garlic aromatics and a basic herb/spice background; the 15 oz can is practical for single meals or small families and the usual ritual is spooning or simmering it over pasta, mixing into meatloaf, or using it as a quick simmer base for chicken, shrimp or chili. In American grocery culture it plays the role of an everyday, convenient essential — comforting and familiar, easy to stash for quick weeknight dinners or to use as a flavor shortcut in homestyle recipes.
