This mix brings together several heritage Italian varieties, chosen for their vigorous growth, dense flesh, and elongated shape typical of tomatoes intended for processing. Each plant evokes the generous, sun-drenched vegetable gardens of the south, where warm, well-drained soil supports the slow ripening of fleshy fruits.

In a harmonious vegetable garden, these tomatoes naturally find their place: supported, mulched, and planted alongside basil or other companion plants, they create a rich and diverse growing space. Some varieties are early, others later, allowing for a staggered and abundant harvest.

We cultivate them with care and gratitude, in an approach that respects life and the memory of ancient practices.

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

Annotation: Warm-season annual sensitive to frost; requires warmth, regular watering and staking to fully express its potential.

Sourced from Italian varieties selected for canning, simmered sauces, and coulis, these tomatoes reveal their full aromatic richness when gently cooked. Their firm, slightly juicy flesh makes them ideal for preparing thick, flavorful sauces, perfect for lasagna, ragù, and homemade preserves.

Their visual diversity – bright red, orange, marbled, more or less ribbed – adds a touch of beauty to each harvest. Some are also suitable for cooking whole or drying, perpetuating Mediterranean culinary traditions that value each fruit at its full ripeness.
