Beefsteak Tomato - The King of Summer Salads

The Oxheart Tomato It is one of the most prized and appreciated varieties of Italian horticulture, grown with passion in the fertile and sunny lands of our beautiful Italy.

Recognizable at first sight by its characteristic irregular shape that resembles the outline of a heart, this tomato is synonymous with authenticity, freshness and tradition at the table.

Its very thin skin and fleshy pulp make it the undisputed star of large summer salads and Mediterranean diet dishes.
