Tomato, Costoluto Genovese

Tomato, Costoluto Genovese  

This vigorous vine sets masses of small to medium, deeply lobed, irregular fruit. A favorite since the early 19th century for robust, tangy, "tomatoey" sauces.

This 19th-century Italian heirloom is one of the best tomatoes for making sauces and cooking in general. The tomatoes are flat-rounded, brightly red, and heavily ripped, and the flavour is excellent. It is very tasty, hearty, and with high acidic content. This beauty is a real allrounder in the kitchen for canning, cooking, and juicing, and it tastes delicious in salads and on sandwiches, too.
