Tondino di Maremmano This is a local tomato variety from the Maremma region of Tuscany, referred to in sources as Tondino Maremmano. The small, red, round fruits weigh about 50 g. They have smooth skin, firm flesh, and a pleasant, distinctly tart flavor. They are suitable for both fresh consumption and for making sauce.
The survival of this variety is linked to the protection of local seed resources. Seed material preserved by the Tuscan agency ARSIA was transferred in 2003 for further propagation and conservation. The Italian company Arcoiris helped bring it back into circulation as a variety that preserves regional diversity.
The firm fruits store well after harvest. This is an interesting choice for those who want to explore regional Italian tomatoes beyond the most well-known varieties used for purees.
