    The classic paste tomato from Italy, also a perfect choice for drying. Meaty, with few seeds and a distinctive sweet flavor that comes to life when cooked up into sauce.

    By: Select Seeds

    Considered by many to be the best sauce tomato in the world! Thinner and more pointed than a typical roma, thick flesh, few seeds, strong tomato flavor, more sweet than acid. Will fill all the needs of a roma and provide exceptional sauce, paste and can.
