This heirloom variety plum tomato is direct from Italy. The Roma tomato has an interesting history. Many believe because of its name that it originated in Italy, but this is not the case. The Roma tomato was developed by the USDA using traditional breeding techniques and introduced to the American public in 1955. As of 2005, it officially became an heirloom tomato. There are no records of how this tomato was bred, but it is believed to be a cross between San Marzano and the Pan American tomato, a variety that is not commercially available today.
