Piennolo Giallo del Vesuvio

aka Vesuviano Giallo Ramallet. A storage tomato that will last for up to 9 months! The yellow cherry sized fruit gets sweeter with a more intense, rich flavour over time. Its culinary versatility makes it a highly desirable variety for those who value food security. One of the oldest heirlooms from Italy. Ramallet tomatoes, as they are known in Spain, or winter tomatoes and piennolo tomatoes in Italy, are a unique class of Mediterranean heirloom tomatoes that grow in clusters or tresses. At the end of the season, these fruit-laden tresses are strung up and stored at room temperature, with both ripe and unripe fruits ripening gradually over time. These tomatoes are distinguished by their thicker skins, which help preserve them and intensify their flavour as they dry off the vine. They’re perfect for fresh eating, making sundried tomatoes, or preparing rich sauces. If you value self-sufficiency and delicious, seasonal eating, Ramallet tomatoes are an excellent choice. They’re particularly well-suited to short growing seasons and long winters, making them a must-have for gardeners looking to enjoy homegrown produce year-round. Indeterminate. 70 dtm.
