Organic tomato rarity French oxheart 

*** Old tomato varieties have the habit of growing as they please. So there are often color differences, as well as various sizes and shapes in one variety. If it is too hot or cold for them, they help themselves with scars and cracks. Therefore: Scars in old varieties are a natural occurrence and do not reduce the quality! ***

By the way: As soon as a variety has been around for more than 30 years, it is considered an old variety.

Origin

Tomatoes are an ancient crop plant that was cultivated by the Indians of Central and South America long before the discovery of the New World by the Spaniards. Christopher Columbus brought them to Europe in 1498. However, they only began their triumphal march at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the tomato is one of the most important vegetables of all. They are grown worldwide, in all climate zones.

Tips

Tomatoes can be stored for a few days, but not in the refrigerator! 14° C is best. Still green, unripe fruits can be ripened on a sunny windowsill. Peel tomatoes before freezing - this way they serve as a base for soups and sauces.

Preparation

"Ochsenherz Orange" is ideal for fresh consumption for creative salads and for cooking - especially soups.

About the producer

Our organic farm is located in the heart of the Seewinkel, on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl in the Pannonian lowlands. As the western part of the Hungarian lowlands, the Seewinkel is a special place in Austria due to its very special climate. Hot summers and cold winters, combined with little precipitation and the most sunshine hours, give this region a lot of potential.

The Pölzer organic farm has been producing organically since 2007, which is why the recycling idea is in the foreground when using our own horse manure. Vegetable cultivation now has an enormous variety of old vegetables and varieties. From tomatoes in all possible colors and shapes to exotics such as physalis, artichokes etc. with well over 100 varieties, you can find every imaginable fruit vegetable in summer on our farm.

What is special about our company is that almost everything from the seed to the finished product is created on the farm by hand, with great love and care. Family members from three generations help with this. In our actions and creations, we always try to combine tradition, innovation and sustainability for a clean future.

Storage recommendation

To store tomatoes properly at home, remember: Not in the refrigerator! Let them bask in their own 'tomato' splendor on the counter, rather than cooling their passion for flavor.
