description

The Solanum lycopersicum 'Principe Borghese' cocktail tomato is an old Italian variety that immediately charms with its abundance, authentic flavor, and remarkable versatility both in the garden and in the kitchen. On its semi-determinate plant, it produces generous clusters of intense red small fruits that ripen regularly and bring a vibrant presence to the summer vegetable garden. Its dense and flavorful flesh develops a sweet taste with a slight acidity, making it a tomato that is as pleasant to eat fresh as it is to cook in dishes inspired by Mediterranean tradition. Robust and easy to grow, it is very suitable for gardeners looking for a productive, reliable, and uncomplicated variety to grow with good staking. Its good general resistance allows for a sustained harvest throughout a good part of the season, even in variable conditions. In full sun, in rich and well-drained soil, it reveals its full potential and quickly becomes a favorite for repeated harvests. We particularly love to pick it in abundance to garnish salads, enrich sauces, or prepare delicious homemade stews. Both heritage, gourmet, and generous, 'Principe Borghese' is a cocktail tomato of great interest for lovers of classic flavors.
