I often get asked about good tomatoes in the winter. While summer tomatoes are undeniably the best, if you’re craving a fresh burst of flavor—say for a dish with burrata, mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes—Campari tomatoes are your best bet during the colder months.
Why? Campari tomatoes are considered some of the best-tasting tomatoes due to their perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and texture. These hybrid tomatoes are grown hydroponically and ripened on the vine, resulting in a rich, deep red color that’s even more vibrant than typical store-bought varieties.
Known for their juicy, tender flesh, Campari tomatoes are not mealy like many winter tomatoes. Their flavor strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tangy, offering a refreshing burst with every bite. They also have an ideal texture, firm yet yielding—perfect for slicing, tossing in salads, or serving with creamy mozzarella.
What makes them even better? Campari tomatoes are grown without the use of pesticides, thanks to their hydroponic cultivation. To get the most out of their flavor, store them in a cool, dry place, and avoid refrigerating them, as cold temperatures can diminish their taste and texture.
So, when you're longing for a taste of summer in the middle of winter, reach for Campari tomatoes. They're the next best thing!
