HEART OF CÓRDOBA (CORAZÓN DE CÓRDOBA). A spectacular large-fruited variety widely regarded as one of the finest among yellow-orange heart-shaped tomatoes. It combines an elegant fruit shape, brilliant bicolor coloration, delicate buttery flesh, and an exceptionally sweet fruity flavor. The variety is equally admired for its ornamental beauty and outstanding tasting qualities. A mid-season indeterminate tomato with a compact yet sturdy plant.
In open-ground cultivation, plants reach about 1.3 m (4.3 ft) in height, producing strong stems and neat fruit clusters. Each truss sets 2-3 large fruits weighing 200-250 g, while under favorable conditions individual tomatoes may reach 350-400 g. The variety bears reliably and consistently produces uniform, beautifully shaped fruits. The primary color ranges from rich golden-yellow to yellow-orange, enhanced by vivid red marbling and streaks that make every tomato unique.
The fruits are elegantly heart-shaped with a gently elongated pointed tip. Their surface is smooth and glossy, resistant to cracking, while the thin skin is barely noticeable when eaten. Inside, the fruits reveal luxurious bicolor flesh blending golden-yellow and reddish-orange tones. The flesh is exceptionally dense, meaty, tender, and almost seedless. Most of the fruit consists of juicy buttery flesh that holds its shape beautifully while literally melting in the mouth.
FLAVOR
The flavor is rich, intense, and truly dessert-like. Pronounced honey sweetness blends harmoniously with delicate fruity notes and a barely perceptible refreshing acidity, creating an exceptionally balanced flavor profile. The flesh is aromatic, juicy, and remarkably tender, leaving a long, pleasant finish with expressive fruity overtones. The fruits are ideal for fresh salads, gourmet platters, tastings, thick juices, and homemade sauces.
Their spectacular bicolor interior makes them a true centerpiece on any table. Heart of Córdoba is one of the most impressive bicolor heart-shaped tomatoes, combining the beauty of large golden fruits with red marbling, delicate almost seedless flesh, an expressive honey-fruity flavor, and exceptional eating quality. A variety destined to become the pride of any collection and bring genuine pleasure with every perfectly ripened fruit.
