Costoluto Genovese
Unbelievable Flavor for Pastes and Sauces!
If you can or juice tomatoes, set aside a large part of the garden for this magnificent Italian heirloom.
78 days from setting out transplants. Indeterminate.
You may never buy tomato paste or sauce at the store again after tasting this superb heirloom Italian tomato! A favorite since the early 19th century for robust, tangy, "tomatoey" sauces, it sets a long, heavy crop of knobby, lobed red fruit that have absolutely no plate appeal but fantastic flavor!
Beginning early in the season, continuing right through the hottest days (it loves balmy heat) and persisting long into fall, this vigorous vine sets masses of small, deeply lobed, irregular fruit. They would not win any beauty contests, but they are just perfect for canning, their flavor preceded by a rich, sharp aroma that tells you you've left the bland world of modern hybrids far behind! Treasured in Italy for many generations, Costoluto Genovese is the secret ingredient in countless family recipes for everything from lasagna to spaghetti sauce.
The flavor comes from the high acidic content of this fruit, which makes a hearty base for any dish. Discover the true tomato tang with Costoluto Genovese! It's the best tomato we've ever seen for juicing, and it tastes delicious on sandwiches and in salads, too.
Old-World Italian Heirloom
Large, juicy fruits are ribbed and reddest red. Intense, tomato flavor is outstanding. Will produce well in hot or cool weather. Excellent for slicing or as the "secret ingredient" to make your Italian dishes truly authentic!.
These are fresh seed from 2016 from my garden harvest
All my seeds come in reusable ziplock bags with full growing instructions
