Cuoresisto oxheart tomato is a variety selected for the high resilience and sturdiness of the plant, producing large heart-shaped fruits with fleshy pulp and few seeds.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, vigorous and rustic plant, selected to adapt well even to less favourable growing conditions.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant into the field between April and June.
It prefers deep, fertile, cool soil, with sunny exposure and regular watering; the plant needs staking and periodic side-shoot removal to support the heavy fruits.
Harvest lasts from July to late October; fruits, ranging from 200 to 500 grams, should be picked once the skin reaches full colouring for the best texture.
The cuoresisto selection offers better tolerance to the main tomato diseases compared to classic oxheart varieties; crop rotation and good ventilation remain important.
The fleshy pulp with almost no seeds lends itself to versatile use in the kitchen: raw in salads, gratin, stuffed or dried, following the tradition of the great oxheart tomatoes.
Rich in lycopene, potassium and vitamin C, Cuoresisto tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
