What are Campari Tomatoes?

  • Hybrid Variety: Campari tomatoes are a specific hybrid tomato variety developed for their exceptional flavor, sweetness, and consistent quality.
  • Size and Shape: Typically slightly larger than cherry tomatoes and smaller than plum tomatoes, they have a round to slightly oblong shape.
  • Vine-Ripened Goodness: Camparis are usually sold “tomatoes-on-the-vine” (TOV), meaning they ripen on the vine for maximum flavor development.
  • Deep Red Color: Their brilliant red hue signals full ripeness and sweetness.

Why Choose Campari Tomatoes?

  • Sweet and Juicy: Campari tomatoes possess a sweet, juicy flavor with a lower acidity than some other varieties, making them incredibly snackable.
  • Reliable Quality: Their development as a hybrid means you can count on their consistent flavor and quality.
  • Versatile: Perfect for snacking, salads, roasting, sauces, or skewered appetizers.
  • Year-Round Availability: Camparis are often grown hydroponically in greenhouses, ensuring availability even outside peak tomato season.

Using Campari Tomatoes

  • Salads & Snacks: Toss them whole or halved into salads for a burst of sweetness, or enjoy as a healthy snack.
  • Roasting & Grilling: Their sweetness intensifies when roasted or grilled, adding delicious complexity to your dishes.
  • Sauce Sensation: While delicious fresh, Camparis also make flavorful, well-balanced sauces.
  • Caprese Skewers: Pair with mozzarella and basil for a classic and colorful appetizer.
