Tomato: Principe Borghese

R45.00 incl VAT

This variety is from RAW:

Tomayto, tomahto… nope, definitely tomahto. Sorry America. This plum-shaped variety is an Italian heirloom, and its meaty fruits are best when sundried. Plant marigold lemon drop nearby to prevent nematode infection of the soil, and stake plants for support. (How smart did we sound there?).

In dry areas, hang up branches of these tomatoes until leathery – then store in olive oil till needed. We could tell you about how great they are when roasted and tossed into salads, or how the rich flavour does something wonderful to sauces … but we’ll let you find that out for yourself.
