The Nice Beefsteak Tomato is an old variety emblematic of the Mediterranean region, selected for its generous fruit and hardy cultivation. In a thriving garden, it grows gracefully on its support, bearing long clusters of pear-shaped fruit with smooth skin and a reddish-orange hue.

This is a vigorous, indeterminate plant that thrives in rich, well-drained soil and full sun to reach its full potential. In a well-balanced vegetable garden , it requires some attention and support, but in return, it offers an abundant harvest of flavorful fruit starting 85 days after planting.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Annotation: Warm season tomato variety that requires heat, full sun, rich soil and sturdy supports to support the large fruits.

The Nice beefsteak tomato is particularly prized raw, in thick slices, with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of fleur de sel, and a few basil leaves. Its dense, juicy, and fragrant flesh, combined with its low seed content, makes it a star of summer salads.

It is also well-suited to cooking: stuffed, roasted, or incorporated into a fresh sauce, it conveys all the sun-drenched richness of Provençal culinary tradition. Cultivating this variety is a gesture deeply rooted in the gastronomic heritage of the Mediterranean.
