It is what is inside that distinguishes our new slicer beefsteaks.
Firm, but not rubbery
Dispersed seed locules
Little or no core
Small-grained, velvety and flavor-packed flesh
Perfect slices for gourmet take-away sandwiches. Won't turn to mush or sog the bread.

What chefs are saying --
These are the best sandwich tomatoes I’ve ever come across. They combine all the flavor of a late-summer heirloom tomato with the texture of a great beefsteak. Which means that your sandwich has all that great tomato taste you want without becoming a soggy mess.
-Jonathan Katz
Executive Chef (former), Eataly Los Angeles
After working with heirlooms for years, it has been truly amazing to work with your Benevento tomatoes! They have all of the heirloom beauty and flavors, yet don't lose their seeds when slicing so you get full flavor and texture as it remains intact. Combined with it's long shelf life, the Benevento tomato will continue to be favored in our kitchen for seasons to come.

Executive Chef, The Pastaria (Los Gatos)
Once you taste a slice of Benevento on a sandwich, your BLTs, Burgers, and Hoagies will never be the same. With a stunning cross section and an indescribably meaty texture, it maintains it's integrity on any sandwich. It possesses all the mechanical elements of a great beefsteak tomato and adds the depth of flavor and umami of a perfectly ripe heirloom. Benevento has a permanent home with us.
