Owen Z. ★★★★★

The deeply ribbed shape of these tomatoes makes them perfect for stuffing and roasting, and the flavor is incredibly rich. I’ve already harvested a solid batch from just a few plants, and they’re exactly what I needed for sauces.

Aurora X. ★★★★★

I've been growing this variety for three seasons now, and the ribbed tomatoes are as meaty and flavorful as promised — perfect for sauces. The seeds germinated reliably in about a week, which was a pleasant surprise for an heirloom.

Ella ★★★★★

I’ve been growing this Italian heirloom for two seasons now, and the ribbed texture really does hold up beautifully in sauces. The seeds germinated quickly in my raised beds, and the fruit has that old-fashioned, meaty taste you can’t find in supermarket tomatoes.
