About This

• Rich Italian Heirloom Flavor: Renowned since the early 1800s for its bold, tangy, high-acid profile, Costoluto Genovese is the go-to tomato for authentic Italian sauces, pastes, and savory dishes.
• Knobby, Lobed Fruits Built for Cooking: Produces small to medium, deeply lobed red fruits with an irregular shape that may lack plate appeal but excel in concentrated flavor—perfect for canning, roasting, and slow cooking.
• Continuous Production on Vigorous Vines: This indeterminate variety begins producing early in the season and continues through summer heat and into fall, setting long, heavy crops of tomatoes on resilient, heat-loving plants.
• Versatile in the Kitchen: Beyond sauces, Costoluto Genovese is excellent for juicing and adds a flavorful punch to sandwiches, salads, and homemade tomato blends. Its rich aroma alone sets it apart from bland modern hybrids.
• Straightforward Growing Instructions: Start seeds indoors 5–6 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant outdoors once nighttime temperatures consistently exceed 55°F. Space plants 2 to 2½ feet apart and protect with row covers if unexpected frosts are forecasted.
