Not much has changed

[OzoneNY]

So I finally got back to Italy a few weeks ago. Visit family, eat, drink, hike, clean goat poo from my soles, play in the garden, had some fun. It was 20 years since I was there but it seems nothing has changed. My uncle did get a new refrigerator, thats about it. I did manage to bring a few seeds home with me. As far as tomato types, my uncle grows the same San Marzano, red cherry types and Principe Borghese tomato we have in the US. He does have one other (circle in one of the photos below) he calls a Sorrento tomato. Its not a hybrid, its round, baseball size, slightly flattened globe with some ridges like a Genovese but not as pronounced. It was seriously good, very low acidity and best tomato flavor I ever had. With the fresh mozzarella, it was the best Caprese salad I ever had.
