A heritage variety originating on the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea, therefore, it's used to growing in a climate more like our own rather than many varieties which prefer warmer temperatures. These tomatoes have a gorgeous dark red/violet to brown colour with green/brown shoulders which make for a beautiful looking tomato. Renowned for its flavour, the fruit has a softer feel when ready to harvest. Chop the fruit, add basil & olive oil & serve with crusty bread, delicious!
