Round, smooth fruits average 8-10 oz. Their meaty interiors have few seeds. This midseason tomato is among the best for flavor and texture.

This is a round, smooth fruit with a brilliant orange appearance.  Some say it is called “Valencia” because it looks like a Valencia orange, while others suspect it came from Valencia, Spain. It is hard to find and is a threatened variety, which is why we love to grow it. The tomato has an excellent and complex tomato taste, with a great balance of acid and sweet. It is meaty and rich with very few seeds. It has been described as bursting with flavor, rich and buttery as well as pineapple-like, sweet and refreshing.
