🍅 Fresh Heirloom Tomatoes – Colourful, Sweet & Full of Flavour
Our Fresh Colourful Heirloom Tomatoes are selected for their exceptional flavour, beautiful natural colours and wonderfully varied shapes. Unlike uniform everyday tomatoes, heirloom varieties are prized for their individual appearance and distinctive character.
Depending on the varieties available, a selection can include shades of red, yellow, orange, green and deep purple. Their juicy flesh and balanced sweet, gently tangy flavour make them particularly good for dishes where the tomato itself is the star.
Slice them into salads, serve with burrata or mozzarella, spoon onto bruschetta or simply enjoy with good olive oil, sea salt and fresh basil.
Colourful. Juicy. Full of character. Tomatoes worth showing off. 🍅✨
