Beefsteak tomato 'Heart of The Bull' / 'Ox Heart' / 'Cuor di Bue'

This old variety from Italy produces large, heart-shaped tomatoes, with low acidity and a pleasant aroma. The color is red with a green collar. Ripening occurs from the inside out, so a lighter fruit (orange or greenish) already has a good flavor, although a fully red ripe fruit is of course the most delicious! The fruit is usually strongly ribbed, but smooth fruits also occur. The shape can also vary: flatter irregular shapes occur, depending on the year and location. An original harvest gift for your beloved...

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.
