Tomata Trumfera Balaguer

Tomata Trumfera Balaguer

Solanum lycopersicum

A Spanish prize! This awesome variety enables you to have delicious tomatoes right through winter. In fall, lift the entire plant and hang upside down. The fruit will continue to ripen over a few months, giving you rich tasting, fresh tomatoes right into winter. Even when the fruit wrinkles on the outside, the taste and moisture remains on the inside. A real winner!
This is the larger version of the Tomaquet De Penjar Bombeta and is also from the region of Balaguer.

In Catalunya, day old bread is sliced, rubbed with a clove of garlic and a halved tomato, this called Pa amb Tomaquet. Obviously, hanging the tomatoes for months concentrates the flavor as they lose what little moisture they have.
