Details
This exotic looking beauty has the best taste of any paste tomato we have tried. The flavor of this big paste tomato will put a regular Roma to shame! Incredibly flavorful and so sweet! The super-long, 6-inch fruit of this paste tomato has very few seeds and thick, sweet flesh. Try making this meaty, sweet variety into paste or marinara. You won’t be disappointed! Our favorite for snacking, too!
