Discover a remarkable Italian heirloom with these Giallorosso di Crispiano Tomato seeds, a rare variety from the Taranto region of southern Italy. Also known as Yellow-Red or Arancio, this unique keeper tomato is celebrated for its exceptional storage ability, allowing harvested fruits to remain usable for up to four months under proper conditions.

Traditionally, entire fruit clusters were harvested and hung in barns, kitchens, and under archways throughout the winter months, providing a reliable source of tomatoes long after the growing season ended. The plants produce abundant clusters of approximately 2-ounce orange fruits with thick skins and firm, meaty flesh. Their rich texture makes them ideal for hearty sauces, salsa, cooking, and paste production.

Recognized by Slow Food Italy for its unique qualities and cultural importance, Giallorosso di Crispiano is prized by heirloom enthusiasts, homesteaders, and gardeners seeking unusual and practical varieties. These seeds are organically grown with care by Four Oak Farm in Santa Rosa, California.
