Tomato RUSTICO is an early, high-yielding indeterminate variety of Italian origin, distinguished by its high productivity and resistance to adverse conditions. Medium-height plants continue to bear fruit until frost, allowing for a rich harvest throughout the season. The fruits are cocktail-sized, weighing 50–60 grams, and have a bright red color, making them attractive for both fresh consumption and culinary use.
This variety is renowned for its balanced tomato flavor, which suits a wide range of culinary purposes. Due to its characteristics, RUSTICO tomatoes are an excellent base for making sauces, soups, pasta dishes, and pizza. Their rich flavor and aroma are retained during thermal processing, making this variety popular among both professional chefs and home cooks.
Additionally, RUSTICO tomatoes are used to produce tomato passata — a thick tomato sauce-puree that preserves the natural flavor and aroma of fresh tomatoes. This passata is a universal ingredient, ready for use and ideal for preparing various Italian dishes. Its convenient form and rich consistency make the product indispensable in the kitchen throughout the year.
