Kamonium Sardinian-type tomato is a selection inspired by traditional Sardinian preserving varieties: elongated, firm fruit with tough skin suited to drying and processing.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A semi-determinate plant, drought-resistant like the historic Sardinian varieties it derives from.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant outdoors from April-May, in sunny, well-exposed spots.
Rustic and adaptable, it needs moderate but consistent watering; typically grown in open field with light staking or left to sprawl.
Fruits, 6-8 cm long, are firm with very little internal water, ideal for hanging and storing (following the Sardinian sun-dried tomato tradition).
A rustic variety little prone to rot thanks to its thick skin; still monitor for aphids and whitefly in intense heat.
Perfect for drying, oil preserves and concentrates, following the tradition of Sardinian housewives.
Rich in concentrated lycopene due to its low water content, Kamonium tomato has particularly high antioxidant properties.
