BIO Cocktailparadeiser Star Gold 

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

The cocktail tomato "Star Gold" is ideal as a snack tomato and goes perfectly with salads with mozzarella.

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.

Organic products have been produced at Biohof Pölzer since 2007, whereby the focus is on the circular economy idea when using our own horse manure. Vegetable cultivation now has an enormous variety of old vegetable types and varieties. From tomatoes in all possible colors and shapes to exotics such as physalis, artichokes etc. with well over 100 varieties, you will 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 a lot of 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 'tomatoey' glory on the counter, rather than cooling their passion for flavor.
