Sweetloom Tomatoes are ribbed heirloom tomatoes with deep red skin and dramatic purplish-black marks, a juicy yet firm texture, and a flavor that balances sweetness and acidity. Developed by Yuksel Seeds, Sweetloom Tomatoes delivers an authentic, old-fashioned tomato taste, and the variety has earned recognition from the International Taste Institute in Brussels. Rich in flavor and striking on the plate, Sweetloom Tomatoes are equally at home as the star of the dish or a supporting player.

When selecting Sweetloom Tomatoes, look for tomatoes that feel heavy for their size, with deep red color and skin that yields slightly to a gentle press. The purplish-black marks and gently pleated shoulders of Sweetloom Tomatoes are part of their heirloom charm. Avoid Sweetloom Tomatoes with soft spots, cracks, or wrinkled skin.

Sweetloom Tomatoes shine in simple preparations. Sliced thick with flaky salt, olive oil, and torn basil, Sweetloom Tomatoes make a classic heirloom tomato salad, stunning beside burrata or fresh mozzarella. Sweetloom Tomatoes are also excellent layered into sandwiches, piled onto toast, or tucked into a BLT. Because the flesh stays juicy yet firm, Sweetloom Tomatoes hold their shape when roasted, grilled, or baked into tarts. Sweetloom Tomatoes pair beautifully with garlic, fresh herbs, sweet onions, and Melissa’s Balsamic Glaze. To prepare Sweetloom Tomatoes, simply wash and slice.

Storage: Store Sweetloom Tomatoes at room temperature, stem side up and out of direct sunlight, for up to 5 days. Refrigeration can dull the flavor and texture of Sweetloom Tomatoes. Enjoy Sweetloom Tomatoes at room temperature for optimum flavor.
