De colgar tomatoes, hands down. 6-12 months storage at room temperature, and they can be delicious. If I were to make a list of the best 5 tomatoes I've ever tasted, half are "de colgar". My collection is now over 400 varieties, and I've tried a few more old varieties.

Good varieties for fresh use are perfect until mid December ... picked late July.
