Why
this tomato?
Toma’muse is an exceptional variety of tomato with a unique shape and flavour. Its flavour can be described as both sweet and spicy, which intensifies as it’s being eaten. Consumers like to draw comparisons with a glass of good wine. Its most noticeable characteristic is its plum shape combined with its deep purple-red colour. Its firm texture coupled with a crunchy bite make it the ideal kitchen accompaniment. Toma’muse is easy to slice and loses very little of its juice. It’s perfect for a colourful salad or an appealing dish grilled in the oven.
