Tried to make RAO’s sauce from scratch to save money, and ran into some mysteries:

Rao’s sauce looks orange. Doesn’t look like it gets cooked for a long time, as many recipes call for.
The EVOO contributes to the color; however, I have not found one that gives the sauce the same flavor as RAO’s.
The tomatoes in RAO’s aren’t too acidic, but they stand out. The jar doesn’t say San Marzano tomatoes.
Any suggestions?
I also taste a bit of white wine, and a hint of ham in the background. Does anyone else?

Rao's is chunky garbage. Best is Mezetta Artisan or Little Italy in the Bronx. Both use 100% San Marzano tomatoes

As an Italian man who grew up with Grandmother who made a sauce so good , you could dunk a mug into the pot and drink it, I finally got to taste it again when I went to Rao's in NYC and tasted it fresh. When the waiter informed me that they jarred the sauce and it was sold in stores, it was hard to believe it could be as good, until I tried it! This is THE best sauce that I've ever had.

If you can't find Rao's at the store, there ARE two substitutes that are almost as good. They mentioned "Victoria" which is good, but you have to look for "Victoria White Linen" which is harder to find , but almost indistinguishable from Rao's. Another comparable sauce to Rao's is "Mezzetta Marinara" which is just as good. These are all expensive but worth it.

My 3 favorite sauces are: Silver Palate, DelGrosso's and Rao's. I am interested in trying Mutti and Victoria sauce after watching a previous video.

Rao's, Victoria, or Silver Palate. All 3 use real tomatoes, not tomato paste, no sugar added, etc. All 3 are FANTASTIC.
