SUMMER TEMPTATION HEART OF ANTO. A relatively new heirloom variety developed by Latvian breeder Tatjana Nagle, combining elegant fruit shape, high productivity, and outstanding eating quality. This tomato immediately attracts attention with its graceful elongated heart-shaped fruits, uniform ripening, and exceptionally dense flesh. The perfect balance of beauty and practicality makes it an excellent choice for both collectors and home gardeners. A mid-season indeterminate variety with vigorous growth. In open-ground cultivation, plants reach 1.8-1.9 m (6-6.2 ft) in height.
The plant has an elegant habit with long, sturdy stems and fine, spreading foliage that provides excellent air circulation and even fruit exposure to sunlight. It consistently produces numerous fruit clusters and delivers abundant harvests. Each truss bears 5-7 attractive fruits weighing 100-130 g. The tomatoes are elongated heart-shaped with a plum-like outline and a graceful pointed tip, giving them a neat, uniform appearance. Their primary color is rich red, while a delicate anthocyanin blush on the shoulders subtly enhances the fruit without dominating its overall coloration.
The fruits are exceptionally firm, remain securely attached to the trusses, and do not drop even when fully ripe. They ripen evenly together with the stem, without green shoulders. The thin yet durable skin provides excellent crack resistance, attractive market quality, and allows for short-term storage and transportation. When sliced, the flesh is extremely dense, meaty, almost free of cavities, and contains very few seeds. Thanks to its high flesh content, the fruits are excellent not only for fresh consumption but also for thick sauces, juices, drying, and a wide range of homemade culinary dishes.
FLAVOR
The flavor is rich, harmonious, and unmistakably tomato-like. Pronounced natural sweetness blends beautifully with a light refreshing acidity, creating a classic, well-balanced taste complemented by the pleasant aroma of a fully ripe garden tomato. The flesh is juicy, tender, yet remarkably dense, making every bite especially enjoyable. This modern high-yielding variety successfully combines elegant fruit shape, firmness, excellent flavor, and outstanding versatility. Its beautiful dense hearts with rich tomato flavor will become a highlight of the garden, the harvest basket, and any summer table.
