"Italian Heirloom" Tomato
Harvesting some nice Italian Heirloom tomatoes today. As you can see, some are various sizes and shapes. Most are 8 to 10 oz. and a flattened pear shape. Very juicy and full of old-fashioned flavor. Makes for great sauce too. I like my sauce more chunky texture.

nothing like a great home made sauce.
Are those tomatoes a true paste, or are they also good to eat fresh? You mention they are juicy. I enjoy looking at you Floridian's winter photos.such nice reminders of warm sunny days ahead here on the day before the winter solstice in the north. KarenO |

First time growing them this season. Don't consider them a "paste" tomato at all. Some are flattened pear shape and some are oxheart shaped. Very juicy and meaty. Can use for sauce or eaten fresh/sliced with meals or at breakfast.

So two varieties with the same name.
No not all Italian ones are pastes/cooking ones,which is great for those of us who love BIG juicy ones like the Albengo and Liguria ones and other pear shaped ones from Italy. Carolyn
