Black Krim tomatoes

The Black Krim tomato is considered one of the best black tomato varieties, and it consistently wins top place and receives rave reviews at taste trials. It is a favourite of chefs worldwide, rated as the second most tasty slicing tomato in the world..

The flavour is intense, with a sweetness that is balanced by notes of acidity, giving it a distinct, slightly salty taste.

The reddish-green flesh is rich and sweet with a slightly salty, smoky, homegrown flavour making them great for fresh eating or in juices and cocktail drinks, such as a Bloody Mary.

The Black Krim tomato is best suited for slicing and adding to salads or sandwiches but can also be used in making sauces.

Tasty dishes include drizzling slices with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt or topping with fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Roma tomatoes

Roma tomatoes can be eaten raw; however, they are at their best when they are cooked.

This tomato is not juicy and not a slicing tomato. Instead, the flesh is thick and drier so that it will cook down into a thick sauce

Cooking also intensifies their slightly sweet tomato flavour. Hence, Roma tomatoes are the trademark tomato for making sauces, pastes, and soups, although they do well in cooked and raw preparations.

The tomatoes can be slow-roasted, dried, stuffed and baked, and their meaty flesh also makes them great for fresh chopped salads and salsas or adding into an omelette.

They pair well with garlic, chillies, beans, shrimp, basil, oregano, cilantro, and fresh and aged cheeses.

Store Roma tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight, use ripe, firm tomatoes immediately, or refrigerate them to slow the decay process. Roma tomatoes also freeze well for later use
