Description/Taste

Tomatoes on the Vine (TOVs) are marketed and sold stem-on, with four or five tomatoes to each vine. As they are allowed to ripen to a later stage of maturity, they have a higher sugar content, are uniformly bright red, and medium-sized.

Current Facts

The attached stem to these tomatoes contains nutrients and continues to feed the fruits while they are ripening in cases or on the shelf. While some farms make the decision to pick green and ripen with a poly ethylene gas, this reduces the natural sugar content and sometimes results in a more mealy texture. Ours will ripen to perfection!

Applications

Tomatoes on the Vine (TOVs) are ideal for display and uniform slices. Use in fresh preparations; pair with fresh cow’s milk cheeses, basil, oregano, melons, bread, pasta, summer squash, eggplant and peppers. Add to fruit and vegetable platters. Store at room temperature on the vine until ready to use.
