Calabre Tomato
The Calabre Tomato is an endangered heirloom variety from the Calabria region of southern Italy. Known for its deep red, medium-sized fruits, this tomato is prized for its rich, sweet flavor with a slight tang. It is typically used in a variety of culinary dishes, including sauces, salads, and salsas, due to its delicious taste and juicy texture. As an open-pollinated, indeterminate variety, the Calabre tomato thrives in a range of growing conditions and matures in about 75-85 days. Unfortunately, due to its limited cultivation and the decline in traditional farming practices, the Calabre tomato is considered endangered. Growing this unique variety helps preserve its heritage and exceptional flavor.
