Tomatoes

The Tastiest Tomato Varieties

Tasting surveys of popular varieties of tomatoes have been carried out over the past few years.  The results show that most of the top tasting tomato varieties are the smaller cherry tomatoes.  The varieties Sungold and Suncherry Premium are the two varieties that have appeared consistently in the top 10 every year of the five years of tests.

Sweet Million is another good tasting variety that appeared in the top ten in four out of the five years.  Sweet Aperitif, Black Opal, Supersweet 100, Floridity, Tomatoberry Garden, Trilly and Golden Crown appeared in the top ten for three out of the five years.

Of the larger, more traditional varieties, Ailsa Craig and Alicante came top for taste.

We have many varieties in stock as seed and some will be available as plants in a few weeks time.
