🍅 Tomato – Napoli Paste (Heirloom)

(Solanum lycopersicum)

A kitchen favourite, Napoli Paste is a productive heirloom tomato grown especially for its rich flavour, meaty texture, and excellent cooking qualities. Producing heavy crops of bright red, oval to pear-shaped fruits, this variety is prized for making thick sauces, passata, pasta dishes, and preserves. 

Unlike many slicing tomatoes, Napoli Paste develops dense flesh with fewer seeds and less excess juice, giving sauces a rich texture and concentrated tomato flavour. The fruits are equally enjoyable fresh, making a versatile addition to any vegetable garden. 

Compact yet highly productive plants set large quantities of fruit over a concentrated period, making harvesting and preserving easy. Reliable, flavourful, and rewarding to grow, Napoli Paste is an excellent choice for gardeners who love cooking with homegrown tomatoes.
