REVIEW: I Tried 14 Rao Tomato Sauce Flavors, Ranked From Worst to Best

  • I tried 14 flavors of Rao’s homemade tomato sauce and ranked them from worst to best.
  • I wasn’t a fan of Rao’s four cheese sauce or sensitive marinara sauce.
  • However, I loved many of the brand’s vegetable-based options.

Rao’s is a major name in the sauce industry in the United States and Canada.

But before the brand’s sauces were shaken, Rao’s started as a family business Italian restaurant in the late 1890s in New York. Today, the company that makes Rao’s jarred sauces is property of Campbell Soup.

Rao’s also sells more varieties of jarred sauce than some buyers think. To find out which versions were best, I tried every flavor of tomato-based pasta sauce I could find.

This is how they ranked from worst to best.
