I buy the certified ones (marked so) by Cento grown and packed in Italy.
Yet the commissary had both the certified Cento ones as well as the
"implied" fakes by Cento. The fakes were cheaper and crushed. Just today
I paid $3.99/32 oz can at the military commissary for the real McCoys.
The fakes were $2<something>
