Donated to The Diggers Club's Seed Preservation Program by Peter Alchin, the original seed was shared with him by a co-worker in Sydney from seed saved by his Nonna and brought to Australia when she immigrated. Peter and his wife grew this same variety for over 10 years, growing whopping fruits up to 1.4kg and using this abundance for passata and sauce. This precious heirloom tomato has now been shared with The Diggers Club and we are proud to honour Nonna and her extraordinary passata tomato.

Alexander G. ★★★★★

I love that these are heirloom seeds with a real story behind them, passed down from a Nonna to Australia. The germination rate was fantastic, and I’ve already got healthy seedlings.

Samuel ★★★★★

Finally got around to planting these and they germinated faster than any other tomato seed I've tried this season. The fact that it's a direct family heirloom from someone's Nonna makes the whole thing feel special, like I'm growing a little piece of history.

Ella ★★★★★

I’ve been growing tomatoes for years but these Nonna’s Italian Passata seeds produced the meatiest, most flavorful fruit I’ve ever picked. Knowing the original seed was saved and shared by a real family in Sydney makes it feel extra special. Already planning a bigger patch for next season.
