Abanillas Spanish Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Abanillas comes from the tiny mountain village of Abanillas in Cantabria in northern Spain which is a region known for its mild climate, rich soils, and long tradition of preserving local tomato lines. This variety has been passed down through families in the area and is deeply tied to the culinary heritage of the region.
In Spain, Abanillas has developed a cult following and has won multiple local flavor and tomato-tasting awards, especially in northern Spanish festivals where pink beefsteaks are prized for their balance and intensity.Â
Abanillas produces pink, beefsteak fruits that average 12-20 oz. The foliage is regular and the flavor is rich, savory and sweet. While the fruits are pretty, this variety is all about FLAVOR. We think you'll love the rich flavor as much as we do. (Indeterminate)
