Description

An iconic heirloom variety known for its large, heart-shaped fruits with dense, melting flesh and very low acidity. Its soft pink color and mild flavor make it one of the most sought-after tomatoes for summer salads, tomato carpaccios, or simply sliced with a drizzle of olive oil. Very fleshy and almost seedless, it is perfect for those who love tomatoes with a generous texture. An indeterminate type, it requires good staking and a little space
