Campari Tomatoes

What are Campari Tomatoes?

• Hybrid Variety: Campari tomatoes are a specific hybrid tomato variety developed for their exceptional flavor, sweetness, and consistent quality.
• Size and Shape: Typically slightly larger than cherry tomatoes and smaller than plum tomatoes, they have a round to slightly oblong shape.
• Vine-Ripened Goodness: Camparis are usually sold “tomatoes-on-the-vine” (TOV), meaning they ripen on the vine for maximum flavor development.
• Deep Red Color: Their brilliant red hue signals full ripeness and sweetness.

Why Choose Campari Tomatoes?

• Sweet and Juicy: Campari tomatoes possess a sweet, juicy flavor with a lower acidity than some other varieties, making them incredibly snackable.
• Reliable Quality: Their development as a hybrid means you can count on their consistent flavor and quality.
• Versatile: Perfect for snacking, salads, roasting, sauces, or skewered appetizers.
• Year-Round Availability: Camparis are often grown hydroponically in greenhouses, ensuring availability even outside peak tomato season.
