How to Pick

When selecting heirloom tomatoes, look for a variety of colors and unique shapes, as these are characteristic of heirloom tomatoes. Check for a firm texture with a slight give, indicating ripeness. Avoid any tomatoes with soft spots or blemishes, as these may be overripe or damaged. 

Heirloom tomatoes are known for their exceptional flavor, so choose ones that are fragrant and have a rich, sweet aroma. Additionally, consider the size and weight of the tomatoes, as heavier ones tend to be juicier and more flavorful.

How to Store

Store heirloom tomatoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration should only be considered if the tomatoes are overripe. This will help preserve their full flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy. 

Avoid placing them near onions or other strong-smelling foods, as tomatoes can absorb odors easily. Proper storage will ensure that you can enjoy the freshness and quality of your heirloom tomatoes for a longer period of time.

Our Heirloom Tomatoes are lovingly grown in the sun-drenched fields of the Adelaide Hills and the fertile soils of Victoria, ensuring they are bursting with flavor and vibrant color.
