The Black Truffle Tomato is a unique and flavorful heirloom variety, known for its mahogany-colored skin and interior, with fruits weighing approximately 4-6 ounces each. This prolific tomato plant produces an abundance of 3-4 inch fruits that are naturally resistant to cracking, allowing for a longer shelf life and a more enjoyable harvest experience. The Black Truffle Tomato offers a rich and complex flavor that makes it a favorite among home gardeners and gourmet chefs alike. For optimal flavor, it’s best to harvest the fruits while the shoulders remain slightly green.
These tomatoes grow on indeterminate, vining plants, which means they continue to produce fruit throughout the season. Black Truffle Tomatoes grow on potato-leafed plants that require about 85 days to reach maturity. To ensure healthy growth and a productive yield, it’s recommended to stake or trim the vines, although they can also be grown in tall cages to support their climbing habit. With continuous fruit production, the Black Truffle Tomato is an excellent addition to any garden, offering both beauty and flavor that can enhance a wide variety of dishes.
