The Solanum lycopersicum 'Téton de Vénus' oxheart tomato is an Italian organic variety that is as unique as it is elegant, prized for the beauty of its fruits, their generous flesh, and their delicate flavor. In the garden, it quickly attracts attention with its intense red, round, smooth tomatoes, ending in a small characteristic point that gives it its identity. This original, almost sculptural silhouette makes it a variety that is as ornamental as it is delicious, perfect for enriching the vegetable garden with old shapes and deep colors. Its dense flesh, containing few seeds, offers a pleasant texture and a sweet flavor with a slight acidity, ideal for many culinary uses. With indeterminate growth, it produces regularly throughout the season and requires good staking to support its vigorous plants and beautiful quality fruits. Grown in full sun in rich, well-ddrained soil, it rewards the gardener with an abundant and refined harvest. It is particularly enjoyed sliced for summer salads, cooked in sauce, or dried to concentrate all its aromatic richness. Both original, productive, and deliciously flavorful, 'Téton de Vénus' is a tomato with character that enhances both the garden and the kitchen.
