Rosella Tomato
Latin Name:
Solanum lycopersicum RosellaMassive trusses of pink to purple cherries with a smoky blush. The tiny cherries are a half-inch across, contain very few seeds–superb for fresh eating, yet solid enough for cooking or for making a deep, rich red tomato paste. Superior balance of sweetness and acidity, with a rich, lingering aftertaste.
The specific historical facts of the Rosella tomato are a little hazy, but most people think they probably originated in Russia where a lot of other dark cherry tomatoes hail from. One interesting tidbit is that there’s actually a company called Rosella that’s been making tomato sauce since 1895!
