Grow a remarkable Italian heirloom with these Giallorosso di Crispiano tomato seeds (Solanum lycopersicum), a rare variety from the Taranto region of southern Italy. Known as Yellow-Red or Arancio, this keeper tomato is prized for its exceptional storage ability, allowing fruits to remain usable for up to four months when properly cured and stored.

This productive heirloom produces large clusters of approximately 2-ounce orange fruits with thick skins and meaty flesh. Entire clusters are traditionally harvested and hung in barns, kitchens, and archways for winter use, making this variety ideal for traditional food preservation. The rich texture is excellent for salsas, sauces, and tomato paste.

Recognized by Slow Food Italy as a culturally important tomato variety, Giallorosso di Crispiano combines historical significance with outstanding garden performance. Hardy, productive plants provide abundant harvests and a dependable supply of flavorful tomatoes long after the growing season ends.
