Costoluto Genovese Heirloom Tomato Seeds – Classic Italian Variety

Experience the Rich Heritage of Authentic Italian Tomatoes

Tired of the flavorless, uniform tomatoes found in grocery stores? Bring historical depth and culinary excellence to your garden with Costoluto Genovese. This legendary heirloom variety dates back to the early 19th century and was a personal favorite of Thomas Jefferson, grown at Monticello for nearly two decades. Known for its distinctively lobed and deeply ridged shape, this tomato is a visual masterpiece that delivers an unmatched, old-world flavor profile.
