🍅 Tomato – Black Krim (Heirloom)

(Solanum lycopersicum)

Bold, distinctive, and packed with flavour, Black Krim tomato is a prized heirloom variety known for its deep, dusky colouring and rich taste. Originating from the Black Sea region, it produces medium to large, slightly flattened fruits with dark reddish‑purple skin and green‑tinged shoulders. 

Renowned for its complex flavour profile, Black Krim offers a unique balance of sweetness, acidity, and savoury depth, often described as rich and slightly smoky. This makes it a favourite for fresh eating, where its taste and striking appearance can truly shine. 

Grown on vigorous, indeterminate vines, this variety produces steadily throughout the season, yielding generous crops of juicy, meaty tomatoes. Its eye‑catching colours and gourmet flavour make it a standout addition to any home garden or kitchen.
