Rosso Bruno tomatoes

by Mike Filigenzi » Mon Nov 19, 2007 11:09 pm

Anyone have these? They showed up recently at the local grocery store. They're small - larger than a golf ball, smaller than a tennis ball - and run from brownish to green to dark red. They don't have the flavor of a good, in-season heirloom, but they do have way more flavor than anything else that's around here right now.

I'd be interested in hearing more about them.

I love them, Mike. They have better acidity and sweetness than any other hot house tomato that I've run across, which means we don't have to go all winter without a good caprese salad.

They show up at our local Raley's about this time of year, usually for the remainder of the winter. Costco carries a great hot house tomato and I think it is called Campari. Safeway carries it too. They sell fast.

Thanks, all, I'll be on the lookout for these (but I'm not holding out much hope, here in New England).
