The Yellow Gazzi Ribbed tomato is a ribbed beefsteak-type variety with a distinctive deep yellow colour and segmented seed chambers, prized for its sweetness and firm flesh.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, vigorous and well-covering plant, suited to both greenhouse and open-field cultivation.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant between April and June depending on the climate zone.
It needs sturdy staking to support the large, heavy fruits, spacing of about 30 cm along the row and 80 cm between rows; regular pruning of side shoots and constant watering are needed to avoid water stress.
The smooth, globe-shaped fruits reach about 300-350 g at full maturity; harvest when the yellow colour is uniform across the whole surface.
Like many ribbed varieties it can suffer from blossom-end rot under irregular watering; good canopy ventilation helps prevent downy mildew and powdery mildew.
Thanks to its sweet, fruity flavour and firm flesh it is excellent both raw in salads and cooked into golden sauces and preserves, and is also well suited for stuffed tomato dishes.
Like all yellow varieties it contains less lycopene than red tomatoes but is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium, with antioxidant properties.
