The Monterosa® Heirloom tomato is an unparalleled tomato. Its asymmetrical shape and delicate flavour make it more special than the average tomato. A lush pink blush as it ripens, with intense aromas make it simply irresistible. Monterosa® tomatoes are the perfect combination of flavour, texture, shape and colour.

These flavour-packed heirloom tomatoes can be enjoyed throughout the day. Eat them raw with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper as a healthy and refreshing snack. Slice ripe tomatoes and eat on toast with basil and olive oil for breakfast.

Add mashed avocado or ricotta for a touch of creaminess. Or make Monterosa® tomatoes quick bites inspired by cuisines around the world. These quick bites or snacks are perfect for entertaining, to enjoy as a snack in the middle of a busy day, or even to eat with lunch or dinner.
