Isn't real italian sauce made from fresh tomato's?
Not really. There is a significant element of additional cost and work in working from tomatoes. And the tomatoes themselves are just as "pre-processed" as cans of sauce, coming from mega-farms, etc.

Fred, I know what you're saying if you buy your tomato’s in the grocery store but I was thinking more like using home-grown tomato’s. I remember the first time I made some sauce using my own vine ripened tomato’s, me and my family never wanted to go back to canned sauce. It sure does take extra time though.
When I use fresh tomato’s, before I add them to the meat, I like to strain out the juice after they have simmered about 20 minutes to thicken the sauce up some, and if you chill the juice, it tastes incredible. I figure if you make a huge batch this way, it's worth the extra effort. I also used my own home-grown basil and oregano, yum.
As a side note, I have a hard time finding a good olive oil. I remember buying some one time and noticed it had a wonderful fruity taste even though it was not infused with anything. The store we bought it from stopped carrying that oil, much to our disappointment. Most of the olive oil we buy at Sam's club or Costco is bland, do you know a brand that has this full bodied, almost fruity taste without having to break the bank?
