Tomato – ‘Opalka’ Heirloom Paste
Meaty with few seeds and unlike most common paste tomatoes, 'Opalka' actually has a good flavour, making sauces and pastes even better. Expect great yields of 3x5" massive, solid bull’s horn–shaped red fruits with dry texture. Dries well. While some tomatoes falter during hot dry spells, Opalka produces consistently.
This heirloom tomato is amazing to behold and difficult to find. If you grow tomatoes for paste, this is the one. Polish heirloom brought by the Opalka family to Amsterdam, NY, around 1900. A shy seed producer, it consistently gets dropped for that reason by commercial enterprises, so we’re happy to be able to offer it!
