Franchi - Pomodoro ( principe borghese ) - Seeds
Bring the definitive standard of traditional Italian sun-dried tomato culture to your garden with premium Franchi Sementi Pomodoro Principe Borghese Seeds. Packaged by Italy’s historic, family-run seed house, this legendary Tuscan heirloom variety is world-renowned for producing massive, cascading clusters of small, plum-shaped red fruits ending in a distinct little point (pizzutello). Highly celebrated across Southern Italy for the classic da appendere custom, these tomatoes are traditionally tied together in large bunches and hung from rafters to slow-dry in the fresh air. They feature an exceptionally thick skin, dense meaty flesh, and very low water content, making them the ultimate home-grown choice for roasting whole, preserving in olive oil, or boiling down into intense winter tomato pastes.
