Natoora Spanish Iberiko Winter Tomatoes

99.8p per 100gFLAVOUR IS A FRONTIERNatoora Black Iberiko Tomatoes - Black Iberiko are a variety of tomato that only reach their full potential in winter, when the stress of the cold makes the plants work harder. - Grown on the coast of Andalusia, the plants are put under even greater duress by the salinity of their environment. Using a finely-tuned balance of rainfall and seawater, the growers irrigate the plants just enough to keep them alive.- Ripening slowly from the inside out, their skins remain firm and streaked with green. However their flavour is fully developed, balancing the bright acidity of their seeds with the distinct umami sweetness of their crunchy flesh.- We dub them Winter Tomatoes, bringing together these outstanding varieties under one name as they share a similar flavour profile and must be sown in winter. - In season only from the end of December to early May, the flavour of winter tomatoes cannot be replicated at any other time of year. Take it further- Cut into wedges, drizzled with sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. - Roughly chopped, cooked slowly with olive oil.
