The tomato flavor is pretty bright, and I did like the relative chunkyness.  The roasted garlic flavor was a bit off putting, but that&#8217;s my fault for ordering roasted garlic sauce when I&#8217;m not the hugest fan of roasted garlic. Mostly, though, I felt it tasted very generic. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d be able to tell it apart from a cheaper brand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9556.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried it both on gnocchi and by itself with bread, and I definitely preferred it on its own.
