Roland Foods Sun-Dried Tomato Halves, Specialty Imported Food, 5-Pound Bag

Brilliant color, tangy taste, and a chewy texture that is just right. Roland Sun-dried tomatoes in the 5 lb bag have exceeded our expectations, especially for a dried tomato that is not packed in oil.Other brands that we've had were hard as rocks, some aspired to at least be leathery. Some other brands have had a bizarre and unpleasant chemical flavor and unwanted smell. Not here - Roland Sundried tomatoes in the 5 lb bag are moist, flavorful, and opening the bag was an aromatic treat that made us think of our favorite pizzeria.One note - it's not a reclosable bag, and it's rather hard to use 5 entire lbs of tomatoes at once. Re-bagging into ziplocs will be needed. Quite worth it for the price, tho. Good stuff.

Strong flavor with a good chew profile - great stuff :)

I will not be purchasing these again. They have a bitter undertaste. Also, there were a number of tomatoes that were badly discoloured which I tossed. I will put them in my dehydrator to draw off some of the water and hopefully improve the flavor.Update 9/7/23: I put about a pound of these in my dehydrator for an hour to draw off more moisture. The additional dehydration did make them dryer, more chewy, and slightly less bitter. If I do buy more sun dried tomatoes, it will be a different brand.

I'm only about half way through but will be buying this again for sure. great flavor and much cheaper than buying at the store. I only use about 2 tblspn worth each day in my egg breakfast, but it's lasting just fine in the fridge

I love sun dried tomatoes to cook with and have not been able to find them reasonably priced in the stores. This is a great place to buy them. The tomatoes are a bit big and must be cut down for cooking, but at least you can have them when you want them. 5 pounds is quite a bit - would be nice to have about a 2.5 pound size instead.

most fresh store-bought tomatoes are bad; these have actual tomato flavor, not an unworkable amount of salt, and nothing random added.extremely useful to have on hand.

I've purchased this item twice. The first delivery was excellent in all respects. The sun-dried tomatoes looked and smelled great, and they tasted even better - I ate many of them straight from the bag. Unfortunately I re-ordered and the second shipment was awful. The tomatoes were over-dried, dark brown in color, and smelled burned. Worst of all they tasted horrible in everything I've tried to use them in so far. Honestly I think I'll probably throw away the rest before I have to throw away any more dinners prepared with these. A huge disappointment after my initial impression, and due to the cost of a 5 lb. bag.

I don't know where they source these specifically, but they should look for a new supplier. I thought buying in bulk from Roland would be good. Not really. A lot of the tomatoes have grit, and I mean disturbing amounts. Then I started sifting through them, which is a hassle because they're very sticky and found a lot of bad parts, pieces, some mold, lots of stems, etc. The bad pieces seem to affect all the tomatoes a little flavorwise. Definitely not the best tasting sun dried tomatoes I've had. I won't be buying this from Roland again. Their olives have been decent, but not these tomatoes. Disappointed.
