Seasonality:
If there are classic tomatoes, then there are bound to be novelty tomatoes. This family includes about fifteen varieties of tomatoes. They include:
- The Saveurs d’antan tomatoes are an assortment of heirloom varieties. They come in various colours and shapes and will liven up your dishes!
- The Ananas d’antan tomato is a ribbed, soft and sweet tomato with tasty flesh that melts in your mouth. Its name comes from its shape. Indeed, when cut across its width, the slices look like pineapple slices.
- The Marmande d’antan is a fairly early-season tomato and an heirloom variety. It is sweet and fragrant with dense, firm flesh.
- The Prune d’antan tomato has a beautiful colour, somewhere between yellow and plum.
Here are some more:
- The San Marzano tomato is a late-season variety. This variety of tomato is known for its firm, dense flesh with few seeds and low juice content.
- The Cornue tomato is an old, early-season variety. The fruit has a long, pointed shape. Its flesh is firm and juicy with a fragrant and acid-free flavour.
- The Cœur d’antan tomato is a pointed, heart-shaped tomato. It is the original Cœur de boeuf beef tomato. This variety features large, fleshy fruits and an incomparable fragrance.
- The Téton de Vénus tomato is very red. It is round with a nipple-shaped tip, a feature that gives it its name (téton is French for “nipple”). It is a very sweet tomato.
- The Noire d’antan tomato is a sweet-tasting ribbed tomato without any acidity. It has a remarkable colour, which ranges from purple to dark brown.
- The Green d’antan is a green tomato which features yellow-green stripes when it is ripe. Its flesh melts in your mouth, and tastes distinctively sweet and spicy.
- The pink tomato is probably one of the tastiest heirloom varieties. Its fruit is round and very slightly flattened. More pink than red, this variety of tomato has very juicy flesh.
- The Baby San Marzano tomato is a guaranteed hit for your aperitif. The shape of this Italian tomato is long like a pepper. It is crisp and fragrant.
- Mixed cherry tomatoes are a great way to vary your culinary pleasures. The mix includes very different colours and flavours.
