The best varieties of Italian tomatoes

I suddenly plunged into Italian varieties of vegetables, especially tomatoes.

I don’t know what to order

... It was fun to explore. Maybe someone else will come in handy. I do not pretend to be complete. The text of a certain Tanya who moved to Italy was taken as a basis (I did not find her surname anywhere) and supplemented by me from Italian sources. I would be glad if someone who knows will add and correct.

There are currently over 320 common tomato varieties grown in Italy, but only approximately twenty date back to the Italian agricultural tradition. These are local varieties, bred and characteristic only for this or that region of Italy and are considered “prodotto tipici”.

The first attempt at varietal classification in Italy was made in 1903 by Luigi Trentin, director of the horticultural school in Venice, which distinguished between varieties for canning (usually late-ripening tomatoes, with firm pulp, smooth and ribbed), varieties for fresh consumption (juicy , with earlier ripening), and for storage in clusters in winter, (small, slightly elongated tomatoes such as Piennolo del vesuvio).

There are many classifications of tomato varieties according to various characteristics: shape, color of fruits, place of cultivation, type of growth, purpose for use.

This classification is based on the shape of the fruit.

 1. Dates tomatoes - pomodori datterini... Small (10-15 g), elongated tomatoes are very often sold in bunches and can be stored in this form longer. They are grown mainly in the south of Italy. Their main feature is sweet taste and thinnest skin. That is why the main use for them is in instant sauces in combination with pasta, fish or meat. There is no need to especially clean them, given the size it would be rather difficult, it is enough to sauté for a few minutes in the composition of your favorite dish and the job is done! The most famous pomodoro Piennolo del vesuvio. (In the previous photo in the upper left corner) They have the title of DOP, are grown in the Campania region on volcanic soils, mature tomatoes 2-4 per branch are collected in large bunches and hung in a ventilated room, so they are stored until the end of winter. During storage, they dry out slightly, lose their turgor, but acquire a delicious, more concentrated taste, which makes them valuable for making various sauces.

 2.

Cherry tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (pomodorini ciliegino) ... The most famous member of this family is, of course, the Pachino.He managed to secure himself a good piece of Sicilian land and therefore has the title IGP (indicazione geografica protetta), that is, only the fruits from this territory (part of the province of Syracuse and part of the province of Ragusa) have the right to bear this name. Cherry tomatoes are round, small (20-30 g), grow in clusters and most often they go on sale. They are sweet in taste and have firm flesh, so their best use is in salads made from cold rice, cold pasta, combined with lettuce, legumes, etc. And one more feature. Cherry tomatoes are perhaps the only ones capable of retaining a rich taste even out of season. And if you need really tasty tomatoes in winter - take these, you will never go wrong!

 3.

Piccadilly Tomatoes (pomodorino Piccadilly) ... Of all the “tomato fines”, these can be considered one of the largest, with an average weight of 30-50 g. They also grow in clusters, have an oval-shaped fruit with a slightly pointed tip. The bright red color makes them very attractive in salads, and the thin skin, which boils well during the cooking process, gives an advantage in the preparation of sauces. But for me personally, this variety is synonymous with confit tomato.

4.

Tomatoes San Marzano (pomodoro San Marzano) ... Italy is called the land of saints, because the names of local righteous people are present almost everywhere: in the names of settlements, mountains, rivers, public buildings. You understand that a tomato with a “holy” name was inevitably to appear. Here it is, San Marzano, an oblong red fruit with a characteristic spout at the tip. The best tomatoes of this variety, grown in the Campania region, are internationally recognized with the DOP (denominazione di origine protetta) mark. "San Marzano" - a unique variety of Italian tomatoes, because they are grown on the lands of volcanic origin, near Vesuvius. The peeled San Marzano in cans are the most famous canned tomatoes in the world. They have firm flesh, are not watery and contain few seeds, making them ideal contenders for making tomato sauces. But if you suddenly want to cut San Marzano into a salad, there will be no special complaints, it has a very pleasant taste even in its raw state. San Marzano is a cultivar type; this type includes many varieties of Nano, Scatolone, Lampadina, etc.

5. Collected, or purse-string tomato (pomodoro grinzoso, costoluto, canestrino ). These tomatoes, depending on the variety, have a more or less pronounced "gathering", sometimes the folds are so deep that they reach almost the middle of the fruit. The most famous are the varieties originating from Florence and Genoa and bearing the corresponding names Сostoluto fiorentino and Сostoluto genovese. Canestrino also belongs to this group. Pickled tomatoes have a very delicate pulp, not even fully ripe, in its consistency it resembles butter. Most often, these tomatoes are used as part of a variety of salads, tomato sauces are very good from them, but the skin must first be removed, it is quite tough and can spoil the look and taste of the finished dish.

6... Tomato "Bull's Heart" (pomodoro Сuor di bue)... Tomatoes are of a typical heart shape or slightly pear-shaped, rather large in size (from 200 to 300 g, there are also more than 500 g).

the skin is smooth, thin, very fleshy pulp with a small amount of seeds, a characteristic pinkish-red color with a burgundy-purple hue, sweet and tender. They are slightly ribbed, especially in large specimens. Excellent for eating raw, making caprese and other salads, tomato juice. Typical pomodoro di belmonte grown in Calabria.

 7-9.

Salad tomatoes (pomodoro insalataro) ... This is a combined category; in Italy, lettuce tomatoes are usually called tomatoes of the correct round shape, from medium to large in size. The most common grape varieties are often called pomodoro a grappolo. They are suitable both for fresh use in salads and for stuffing or making sauces. For example tongo Sardo (Round Sardinian).

I would also like to mention the giant steak tomatoes (for example, pomodoro di sorrento), which taste great even when slightly unripe. They are almost always consumed raw and are often jokingly called "meat".

As for my experience, I really like the "purse string" tomatoes, I grew French varieties. But I didn’t like the cherries like Prince Borghese, they are too small and crumble when ripe. Although they were positioned as tomatoes for drying, which I was led to do :)

Now I will try San Marzano, fleshy, drought-resistant, you want sushi, you want canning without the skin :)

And for those who have read to the end :) a couple of topical burlap models from the 2016 D&G collection.

They were ridiculed everywhere as trends that no one would want to use, and I really liked them. I would love to wear it in my garden :)

 The concept of "the best varieties of tomatoes" is different for everyone: someone prefers to plant tomatoes mostly in open ground, while someone is attracted by the advantages of growing in a closed (from the climate, or extremely changeable weather in recent years) greenhouse. And many simply summarize the harvest of tomatoes, attracting to their side both planting plants in the open field and planting vegetables in a greenhouse.

Of course, the greenhouse makes the conditions for better growing tomatoes in many regions of the country much more loyal, but in Russia there is an incredible number of unique regions located in dozens of regions and territories. And this, too, must be taken into account, with an emphasis on a particular variety of tomato. The greenhouse, of course, smooths out the weather "roughness", but outside the enclosed space - in the open field, tomatoes still react to every change in the environment.

Differences in tomato varieties

Each tomato variety has its own face. Behind each are years of labor of breeders and decades of popular selection. The beauty of today's best tomato varieties is in the variety. So we "exploit" both tomato hybrids, and varieties with unlimited growth - indeterminate, and semi-determinant, and determinant, the average height of which for the most part ranges from 70-80 cm, and low-growing vegetables, whose growth does not exceed half a meter (all of them we will analyze the differences and features in the article below).

You cannot advise relying on outside experience, as some do, knowingly bringing in not entirely truthful information about the harvest (quantity and quality) of grown tomatoes. They say here they are - the best varieties of tomatoes of the past (and, further, in descending numbers) for the tomato of the year. For all, however, it should be noted that they often focus on the varieties of plants proposed for planting for open and closed ground, without realizing that the advice will be good only after personal experience - it is better for at least 3-4 years (honestly, but extremely rarely , and 2 is sometimes enough) and with meticulous experiments (starting with growing seedlings with the addition of Vermiculite to the soil, the growth stimulator Gumi and, ending with top dressing: magnesium sulfate, mineral fertilizer Fertika - Kemira, and so on - already in the garden) for each grade.

Why do I give such a period? Yes, because it is absolutely necessary to take into account the weather, which differs from year to year, and this is the minimum, in my opinion, time to have a little bit of an idea of ​​each variety of tomato

Tomato growing technology

Our technology for growing tomatoes of different varieties is as follows. On our site, we allocate 6 long rows for tomatoes (including closed soil). On three of them, representatives of the best varieties of tomatoes that have been tested over the years (even a choice of tomatoes) are grown, which guarantee the yield of the crop according to the declared characteristics (regardless of the "delights" of the weather), and the other three are planted with new varieties that are "considered" this way and that in during the above time. Everything seems to be. No, no, it is very important in the process of experiments, in order to take the starting position in the garden, to consult with the workers of many wholesalers and, especially, shops selling seeds. They already know for sure which are the best varieties of tomatoes that people (taking into account their own experience) understand best, and which ones they swear at!

P.S. To make life easier for readers and reduce the time for absorbing the article, instead of determining the yield of vegetables in kg per 1 square meter, it will be written later - kg "per square".

And now I am announcing the number of tomatoes tested in growing, presented below to your gaze, which can be called the best - 60 varieties.

P.S. The results are recorded in an area that: with a good warm season corresponds to Central Black Earth Region (region), and with bad - Northwest region... Naturally, this latitude interval, at which the above regions are located, exactly includes Siberia, Moscow suburbs, Middle lane, Ural, Far East, and then figure out for yourself which paths lead to your site.

The best tomato varieties with a description

I. Hybrids

Hybrid tomatoes, which are practically guaranteed resistance to diseases and disgusting weather, which non-hybrid varieties suffer from. Greenhouses and greenhouses are prized for accumulating heat, but tomatoes can suffer from extremely high temperatures and extreme temperature changes. In recent years, worldwide selection has been aimed at producing "heat-resistant" hybrids with a reliable ovary guarantee. Hybrids are especially helpful in a greenhouse or in a small garden plot, where there are no real opportunities for crop rotation and disease prevails. Breeding successes demonstrate confident resistance to various types of infections - viral (especially the most dangerous tobacco mosaic virus), fungal, bacterial. In addition, the fruits of the hybrids are leveled, the yield is consistently high.

Incas F1

Tomato of the Dutch company Numensz, zoned in Russia; entered in the state register in 2000. A mid-early hybrid (105 days) of vegetables of a meter height, determinant.

Forms abundant multi-fruited clusters with tomatoes weighing 60-140 grams. Dense tomatoes perfectly withstand long transportation, are great in pickling and pickling. Due to its heat resistance, they are excellently tied under shelters, in low greenhouses. The most important advantage of this hybrid is the highest resistance to various infections.

Mariana F1

The tomato was created in the French branch of the Japanese company Sakata (the image of the woman Mariana is the symbol of the French Republic). The breeders of this agricultural company are often suspected of producing GMOs, but so far without real evidence. Mariana is a mid-early determinant hybrid. Fruits are similar in shape to Inkas - also elongated-oval, perfectly even, super dense.They have a high content of dry substances, and there is a substantial amount of sugars. Scarlet tomatoes, weighing 70-180 grams. Excellent taste, solid yield. Vegetables are heat tolerant in small greenhouses.

Bagheera F1

A hybrid from the leading French seed company Klose. Included in the Russian seed register in 2007. Ripening dates are marked as medium early; determinant bush.

The first brush is formed immediately after the growth of the sixth leaf. The fruits are unrealistically dense for such an early tomato, besides, they are by no means small - 130 grams. In shape, these are rounded hearts with a beautiful pointed tip. In the open field, we usually produce a thickened planting - 5-6 bushes per 1 square. The best harvest from such an area is at least a bucket. The hybrid is highly resistant to bacteria, fungi and viruses. Does not crack and does not suffer from top rot of the fruit. It successfully withstands high temperatures and dry soil.

F1 Orange Spam

The newest indeterminate hybrid (in the register since 2015) - tested by us, everything is fine - created taking into account all possible greenhouse cataclysms. Firstly, it ties well even in the heat, as well as during temperature extremes. Secondly, it is hardy to a problem soil substrate. Thirdly, it shows high resistance to viral, fungal and bacterial infections. The yield of vegetables varies between 20-30 kilograms per square. Medium early hybrid (100 days from green shoots). Clusters begin to form after 7-9 leaves, each bearing 5-6 tomatoes in the form of rounded hearts, smooth, beautiful, attractive orange color. The weight of the "heart" is 160-190 grams.

A bush with a height of 65 cm, determinant type, needs to be pinned.

II. Indeterminate varieties (unlimited growth)

These are tomatoes that will grow until they turn blue until the owner or the onset of the cold season stops them. They have a great potential for productivity, which is more successfully realized in tall greenhouses. Place about three bushes on 1 square. With supports, such as strong trellises, open ground is not prohibited, which will be especially welcome in the southern regions. In the conditions of the Middle Lane, they will require enhanced nutrition and regular pinching: they are allowed in 1-2 stems. Vegetables grow 2 meters or more in height without any problems.

Scarlet candles

Good for salting, sweet... This is a patented mid-early variety (Siberian breeders distinguished themselves!). In the state register since 2007. They are characterized by high knotability in any conditions. From 1 square, you really get a bucket and a half. The brushes are arranged in tiers, at the lower branches the mass of fruits reaches 120 grams, the uppermost ones are half as much.

Collection - at least a bucket from three plants.

Tomato Icicle pink

High yield

The variety is fruitful and not capricious. Put up with a little shading. Ties well. Neither high nor low temperatures are terrible. It succeeds in greenhouses, but cultivation in the open air is not prohibited. Tomatoes begin to ripen in 106-113 days; at the same time, the plant successfully continues to grow and form brushes - up to 10 pieces per bush. Each one bears up to eight graceful fruits - cylindrical and pointed-nosed, in full ripeness - iridescent pink color. The mass of each of the vegetables is 100-120 grams. They have a high percentage of sugars and dry matter. They do not burst in salting, are good for drying, getting thick juice and, oddly enough in your opinion, tomato jam.With diligent care, the bush is capable of producing up to a bucket of quality fruit.

Tomato Niagara

Heavy brushes

This mid-early vegetable variety has been in the state register since 2010. The bush is tall, but compact in width. It has a highly branched root system, responsive to increased nutrition and good water supply. A valuable feature of this Siberian variety is its multi-fruited clusters, each of which bears up to 14 tomatoes weighing 85-115 grams. The bush of each of the vegetables demonstrates a real "waterfall" of fruits - perfectly aligned, oval, with a charming nose, bright scarlet. The brush can weigh more than a kilogram, but does not wrinkle. Tomatoes are dense, transportable, stored for a long time.

Tomato Pepper Giant

Meaty and sweet

This is one of the sweetest and fleshy creations of Siberian breeders. It has been registered in the state register since 2007. The tomato is mid-season (116-118 days from the emergence of sprouts), with large foliage. The fruits resemble long pointed-nosed peppers - they grow up to 15 cm. They are elegant red in color, the weight ranges from 120-185 grams. There is very little water and seeds in the pulp of vegetables. In the best case, there are up to a dozen fruits in one brush. One bush gives 2-3 kg.

Tomato Konigsberg

Excellent ovary

Included in the lists of the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes a place in the circle of the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg from a square of land in a greenhouse). Ties perfectly even in hot indoor environments. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching. The first ovary is formed after regrowth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening periods; in Siberia, about half of the harvest ripens on the vine; the rest of the fruits turn red rather well when ripening. Tomatoes in the lower tassels of vegetables are 300 grams each, higher - at least 150 grams. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, even, beautiful.

Tomato Golden Konigsberg

Vitamin and sweet

Ripe tomatoes are golden-orange in color and contain a record amount of carotene group vitamins. The pulp is sweet and aromatic, like berries and fruits. Ripening period is average. The lower fruits are capable of pouring up to a mass of 400-450 grams, higher in the bush - 200-300 grams. They are oval, often with a spout. Clusters in plants grow through the leaf, each on average, as stated, up to 5 fruits. The yield is high. The keeping quality is excellent. Especially tasty when salted with gelatin.

Tomato Strawberry Tree

Vintage hearts

Approximate internodes and a powerful trunk with dense foliage - as in the standard varieties, only the height is two meters. The Siberian breeding novelty produces half a bucket of fruits from one such "tree". In shape and color, they are similar to an enlarged strawberry, weighing 200-250 grams, sweet and dense. Ripening begins on the 115th day. In the brush, 5-7 tomatoes are tied, as stated. The appointment is universal.

Tomato Budenovka

Resistant to cracking

The variety is an improved version of the Bovine Heart, with a higher yield (about 9.4 kg per square), early maturity, good resistance to diseases (even to phytophthora) for a fleshy variety and cracking of the apical tissue of the fruit. Heart shaped tomatoes, ribbed, excellent taste. The purpose is usually salad, although they are very good in traditional barrel pickling by the fermentation method. The first ripe tomatoes are ready for picking 108-118 days after germination. There are 3-5 fruits per kilogram.

Siberian giant tomato

Record mass

The variety is a novelty of a team of breeders led by V.F. Gavrish. Registered in the state register in 2015. For unrealistically large fruits of vegetables it is included in the series "Russian Bogatyr". The variety is not too fast in terms of ripening (from 120 days), therefore, it requires early planting for seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.In Siberia and Central Russia, it works well only in greenhouses, including a greenhouse. The average output from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, a record - 7 kg. Tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, of excellent smell and very juicy, each weighing 400-600 grams, not uncommon - 800 grams. In one plant brush there are 2-3 tomatoes; if you leave only one tomato in it, then it can pull more than a kilogram. Such "heroes" are better suited for salads and juice distillation.

Siberian shangi tomato

A bowl of lettuce from one fruit

One of the best salad novelties, the yield is high. The plant bears 5-6 brushes. The fruits look very attractive due to their raspberry-pink color and large size: 500-800 grams. The tomatoes are flat-round, ribbed, sweet. High resistance to cracking; pulp density is average. A rare quality for large-fruited varieties: the fruits do not tend to quickly soften and deteriorate during storage. In terms of ripening, the variety can be attributed to both mid-early and mid-season.

Tomato Gilded Bellyash

Giant orange sweetness

Possesses plasticity, rare for a large-fruited variety, and relative unpretentiousness. The delicate consistency of sweet pulp is combined with excellent keeping quality. The tomatoes are round-flat (they have a little "ribs"), sunny orange color. The average weight of a tomato is half a kilogram, but in reality, kilogram fruits are grown on the plant. Each bush can bring half a bucket of tomatoes (with normal farming practices). The variety is mid-season and requires early sowing. We grow in greenhouses with obligatory pinching.

Tomato Honey Drop

Sweet babies

Tomatoes from the "cherry" group, original in shape and color: golden-yellow "pears" weighing 30 grams. The foliage of the potato type, the plant's bush is incredibly branched: stepchildren strive to grow even at the ends of flower brushes. But in the greenhouse, you still need to remove the branches (at least partially), otherwise you will get a jungle. The clusters of vegetables are multi-fruited and the overall yield is very good. Fruits on the clusters from below ripen 105 days after germination.

Tomato Monisto chocolate

Plum sweets

A modern work of a team of breeders led by V.F. Gavrish, a novelty in the cherry tomato group - the Monisto series. The year of entry into the state register is 2015. The first harvest is on the 115th day. Tomatoes are oval, weighing 25-40 grams, collected in a brush of 30 pieces. The variety - the most unusual in color - of the vegetables of this series has fruits of a brownish-burgundy hue, with a specific set of vitamins and an original taste. The pulp is sweet and sugary. Such cherries are especially good in whole-fruited pickling and preservation. Due to the increased accumulation of dry matter, these tomatoes are stored unchanged for a long time. They can be dried and dried, resulting in a product akin to raisins.

III. Semi-determinant varieties (tall in the greenhouse, medium in the ground)

Bushes are very convenient in growing, which do not stretch uncontrollably up, but are capable of timely self-restraint. At the same time, the solid height provides excellent yields. The versatility also attracts: the ability to land anywhere. True, in the open ground you will need supports, but not very high ones. Semi-determinant varieties, as a rule, are not too late, usually mid-early or mid-season. But you still need to pinch them. In the open air, some varieties may require edging towards the end of the season (on average, early August). The standard height is from one to 1.5 (and a little higher) meters (this is observed in a greenhouse).

Tomato Lazy

Early large

The newest early ripening variety of vegetables (95 days from germination to ripening). But it still needs additional verification of breeding promises. Sweet, heart-shaped fruits are very beautiful, with an average weight of 300 grams, in the lower brushes they are twice as large. In order not to lose the first brush, it is necessary to plant seedlings in the garden at the age of 40 (in theory 45) days, no more. Therefore, sowing too early is also not needed, they can lead to a shortage of crops and a delay in terms. Be sure to pinch the bushes to the first brush, and then give freedom to branching.
