Some recipes are good. Others are unforgettable. The difference? The tomatoes you start with.
We grow tomatoes worth slowing down for. Juicy, vibrant and full of character. They bring depth to sauces, sweetness to salads and a little magic to everyday meals.
From the deep richness of Kumato®, to the colourful varieties of Mix-a-Mato® and snack-happy Petite's, every tomao in our range has its own personality and it's own perfect recipe match.
Here you'll find dishes that let the tomatoes shine. Think slow-roasted sauces that cling to pasta, brunch-worthy shakshuka bubbling with warmth and sandwiches stacked high with flavour. Each recipe is simple enough to whip up for yourself yet special enough to share with friends and family.
Because when you start with the right tomato, every bite tastes like a love story.
