San Marino Corned Tuna vs. Century Corned Tuna
For those who don’t know yet there are new canned goods in the supermarket right now, it’s the CORNED TUNA. If you saw the commercial of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera about San Marino Corned Tuna maybe just like me you will be curious what does it taste like. So, when we went last Monday in the supermarket we looked for San Marino Corned Tuna, to my surprise I saw that the leading Tuna in the market, the Century Tuna, also has a Corned Tuna variety. Since we haven’t tasted corned tuna before we bought the two, so that we will know what taste better.
I opened the San Marino brand first, I had it for breakfast Tuesday morning and I really enjoyed it. It’s very different from the normal Tuna Flakes because it has lesser oil. I unconsciously ate the whole can, and I don’t usually do it in normal Tuna Flakes. To my excitement to know the taste of the Famous Century Tuna, I asked my husband if we can have it for dinner. When I opened Century Tuna I saw that even the looks of the two brands is different, San Marino’s Tuna is darker than Century’s Tuna. Century Tuna has onion bits while San Marino doesn’t have it. For the taste, well for me the newcomer’s taste is really better than the leading brand’s. I don’t know guys, but I didn’t even finish my meal that night. Century Corned Tuna is not that bad, maybe I just expected too much from them.

I’ve always like San Marino’s corned tuna. Just tried Century’s chili variant and it’s lasang-lata so I don’t like it.

Thank you for the info. I tasted San Marino Corned Tuna already. Its yummy than the Century Corned Tuna.

I agree with you Carisssa 🙂 I love their Chili corned tuna 🙂 have you tried their tuna paella? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hf4TLo2nfA
about the sodium content, well it’s something we all should be aware of. century has less sodium content so mas gusto ko sya. and hindi sya masyado salty therefore if healthy corned tuna ang paguusapan, i think century will definitely have an advantage.
tried them both. really prefer san marino especially if pepper is mixed while cooking. btw, the can says 60kcal per serving, does that mean 600 calories?
@ Tania and Gina, It’s good to know that somebody here disagreed with me. This is what I want, to hear others sides. thank you!
@ carissa, thank you so much for the information about the free tickets I already Became a Fan of San Marino at Facebook.
hi levy. it seems na healthful living is in style na naman. pati mga binebenta sa atin eh dapat healthy. imagine derek (century) at dingdong/marian (san marino) pa ang endorsers. panay beautiful people with great bodies.
fave ko talaga yang tuna because of its health benefits at mababang cholesterol. pero bat naman ang dami yatang sodium ng san marino? thanks for pointing that out. also, siguro pass muna ko dyan sa chili at dun na lang sa original.
i didn’t like century’s corned tuna. (i still prefer century tuna with calamansi (lime).)
san marino is better. i especially love the chili corned tuna – it has the right flavor, not too hot. 😉
guys visit the official san marino website: http://www.sanmarino.com.ph/. they are giving away free movie tickets 🙂
i like that too Tania!!!
i like the harmony of “sauteed” taste specially in chili variant.. wooo..so hungry na 🙂
hi levy and bambie,
I bought a can each of the two brands. I like tuna sauteed , and I think Century has that sauteed flavor.
Hi Bambie, nice to see you here! we have different taste buds so it might taste better for me but not to others. I really would like to know if you will like the San Marino.
you know how happy i am to read this post? LOL! that’s cause i’ve been waiting for someone, anyone to give me some feedback about San Marino. i already tasted Century’s corned tuna but i didn’t like it. so now i’m more convinced to try San Marino. thanks! =)
