The Beefsteak Tomato 'Venus's Breast' , an old variety originating from Italy, is easily recognizable by its unique shape: a round, red fruit ending in a small point reminiscent of a breast. This characteristic gives it its evocative name, rooted in the imagery of Mediterranean gardens.

In the vegetable garden, it grows vigorously, forming indeterminate plants that can reach 1.6 m in height. Its dense foliage requires good staking to support its regular and generous production. In a well-exposed, fertile spot , it thrives in the sun, drawing on fertile soil to produce fruits that are both fleshy, firm, and visually unique.

Annotation: Beefsteak type tomato variety that requires warmth, staking and regular watering to fully express its potential.

The Venus Tet tomato first captivates with its dense, juicy, and slightly acidic flesh, then with its sweet and fruity flavor that evokes the refined simplicity of Italian cuisine. It is delicious in salads, thinly sliced ​​with a drizzle of olive oil, but also lends itself to thick and fragrant homemade sauces.

Its low seed content and firm texture also make it a variety well-suited to drying, preserving the taste of summer and transforming it into a concentrated burst of sunshine for the colder months. Each fruit evokes the age-old connection between gardening and sensuality, between ancestral practices and everyday pleasure.
