Beefsteak Tomato 'Dutch Oldie' / 'Old Holland'

  • Product number: 295333
  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

An old Dutch variety, which produces beautiful, dark red fruits with a purple-black tinge. The taste of this productive variety is exceptionally good: soft, aromatic, and sweet. The fruits are not too heavy (150-250 g), but we hear many rave reviews about 'Oud Holland'.

The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.

Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
