About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The large, heart shaped beefsteak tomato (in Italian Cuore di bue), with fruits of 200 to 400 grams, dense, low juice flesh and hardly any seeds, ideal sliced onto the plate. It ripens mid to late and needs warmth, patience and a sheltered position, because the heavy fruits and the late start of ripening make it dependent on the weather. It is best harvested fully ripe, when it is at its sweetest. Open pollinated and passed on across generations.
Meaty and gentle, with mild sweetness and hardly any acidity, not very lively but more filling than almost any other tomato.
