Costoluto Genovese Tomato

Costoluto Genovese Tomato is a productive 1800s Italian heirloom with partially flattened, pleated red fruits and mild flavor. Seeds are certified organic.

Size: BULK: 1,000 seeds (2 grams), OG

This large, bright red Italian heirloom tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) provides exceptionally heavy yields of large, pleated fruits with a mild flavor. This is an extremely reliable variety that has long formed the backbone of our farm’s summer tomato offerings, and is also great when we want production for restaurant or market sales. Costoluto Genovese plants also produce fruit earlier than many other indeterminate tomato varieties, lapping their production and continuing to produce late into the season. Later fruits tend to have sweeter flavor too. We can’t speak highly enough of this one. Truly a workhorse variety for organic farms.
