    San Marzano or Roma

    Hi, it's probably been discussed before but I want to sow a plum tomato specifically for sauces and passata, and I'm wondering if people have an obvious preference between these two? I can get Roma seeds easily but will have to order San Marzano. Any reasons why you like one over the other, like taste, suitability, growth habit, reliability?
    Thanks a lot

    I love both and I would say to use your Roma seeds first.

      When i tried roma,it did just that and took over,must have done something wrong,I grow san marzano,also scatalone,we like them just sliced up and frozen,ideal to add to anything,or to accompany an omelette or on toast,

          We tried both last year for passata-making and probably lean towards Roma, though San Marzano was good too.

          I'll have a look through the seedbox later, and if I've got any San Marzano left, you're welcome to what's there.

          Bren, you've made me curious about Amish Paste - just ordered some!

              Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the kind offer Rhona but I actually have all my other seeds and just wanted one more type so I'll go with Roma

                SM seems to get blossom end rot easier than Roma, well it always does here.
                I prefer Rio Grande to either of those two though
