A grape tomato variety native to Italy. The fruits are small, egg-shaped, and deep red in color. The delicate skin may crack if the plant is overwatered. The flavor is distinctly sweet, with a subtle hint of acidity. The fruits ripen about 70 days after transplanting. The plant is tall and requires staking or tying up.
The Italian Semiorto catalog notes that “Crovarese” is also suitable for canning whole fruits. Its egg-shaped form and convenient size make it an interesting choice for canning when you want to preserve whole tomatoes for winter cooking.
