Cencara medium-long tomato is a rustic, highly productive variety with an egg-like oval shape, prized for its firmness and long shelf life.

It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, vigorous, rustic plant with strong fruit set.

Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May, with a strong need for direct sunlight.

It needs sturdy staking given its vigorous growth; a steady, regular water supply, preferably drip irrigation, supports production.

The oval, rounded-tip fruits, weighing 130-150 grams, show a vivid red colour and keep great firmness even after harvesting.

It shows notable tolerance to blossom end rot; it still benefits from good ventilation and preventive treatments against fungal diseases.

Thanks to its thick, firm and tasty flesh, it is perfect fresh, for salads, grilling and for sauces and preserves.

Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Cencara tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
