‘Riccio di Parma’ is a very rare and valuable variety from the Italian province of Parma in the Apennines, in the Emilia-Romana region. Displaying distinctive flattened shapes and pronounced, asymmetrical ribs, these tomatoes have a truly unique appearance. Strongly ribbed, red fruits are huge and can reach over 53oz. (1,5kg). Indeterminate, regular leaf plants, with a very good yield of beautiful, crack-free fruit. Very good canning and cooking tomato, as well as for fresh eating- good tomato flavor. Whether stuffed, in carpaccio, or enhancing salads, the perfect blend with garlic, onions, herbs, and olive oil promises an exquisite culinary journey. About 80-85 days to maturity.
