Cuor di Bue Tomato (Italy)
(Lycopersicon esculentum) This Cuor di Bue (“ox heart”) type tomato is from the Ligurian coast town of Albenga, just west of Genoa, in Northern Italy. Big, 10-16 oz pleated teardrops with meaty centers and narrow seed cavities around the margins. They are excellent sliced and eaten raw, but the variety really shines with roasting, as it brings out the savory richness of flavor. In the field, the vines are stout and vigorous with a great uniform growing habit for two leader pruning. Indeterminate. 85 days.
