Russo Sicilian Togetta

Farmette · March 21, 2013

I saw a reference to this tomato in another thread today on paste tomatoes that described it as a meaty tomato with few seeds. I am wondering what other members impressions of it are as when I grew it last year...when I dipped them in boiling water and removed the skins, what was left was a bag of little meat and a lot of seeds. It added good flavor, though, to sauces, etc. But, I am wondering if maybe I have the wrong RS tomato. It looked like a smaller version of Costoluto Genovese. Thanks!
