When most people think of saucing or roasting tomatoes they think of the long slender Romas or San Marzanos from the bright sun and scorching heat of southern Italy. In the north, however, they tend to take a different shape: big, 10-16 oz pleated teardrops with meaty centers and narrow seed cavities around the margins. This type of tomato are known as \"canestrino\" and in our experience, these northern tomatoes are often better adapted to the PNW and develop superior flavor in our cool maritime growing season. Albenga was the tomato that we kept coming back to all season at the farm when it was time for a stew of white beans, kale, and roasted tomatoes, pasta e fagioli, or a just simple rustic pasta sauce. It featured heavily in many of our most memorable meals of the harvest. They are excellent sliced and eaten raw, but the variety really shines with roasting, as it brings out the savory richness of flavor. In the field, the vines are stout and vigorous with a great uniform growing habit for two leader pruning. It showed better crack and blossom end rot resistance than the other canestrino types we've grown, with a good fruit set and a fairly concentrated mid-late season harvest period. Indeterminate. \u003cbr\u003e(The term ox-heart- \"Cuor di Bue\" is a little misleading here as it is used differently in different places. Italians sometimes use it interchangeably with canestrino, while in North America it usually refers to a strawberry shaped type with an elongated, pointy blossom end.)\u003cbr\u003e85 days.

Here at the farm, we put up several quarts of delicious sauce, but later found perhaps an even better use for it: drying. It is the perfect size for halving and dehydrating for enjoying in the winter months on your pastas and pizzas.

This northern Italian saucer was introduced to us by a friend and former employee and has provided much joy over the past several seasons at our home farm. Named for the Piedmont spa town, Acqui Terme, renowned since Roman times for its thermal baths, these are the biggest ox-heart types we've ever seen, averaging in the 1.5-2 lb range, and practically need to be carried with two hands! They pack a lot of rich flavor in all that fruit, and the dense flesh, with very little seed and gel spaces, cooks quickly into a wonderful passata. Flavor for fresh eating is also outstanding, and the huge size makes for great meaty sandwich slices as well. For such a large tomato, it was totally reasonable in outdoor field production even in our far northern locale. Not the earliest, naturally, given its size, but it hits hard when its time comes. \u003cbr\u003e80 days. Indeterminate.
