Product Description

Open-pollinated, heirloom variety
Elongated fruits ideal for making paste
Sweet and complex flavor

Chef's favorite has long been popular in the culinary industry and is also preferred in Italian cooking. Elongated red fruit is meaty and very flavorful, perfect for salads, salsas, sauces and sandwiches. Seed is offered as both Determinate and Indeterminate. 85 DAYS.

Determinate vs. Indeterminate
Determinates ripen over 3-4 weeks on bushy vines that may need no staking. Indeterminate vines continue to grow and produce fruit all season until frost. The large vines need support.
