Profile

Principe Borghese

Concentrated, sweet, low moisture — the traditional sun-drying tomato

The traditional Italian sun-drying tomato — small, plum-shaped, with intensely concentrated flavor and very low moisture content. Historically grown in Italy specifically to be dried in the sun and stored through winter. Exceptional for drying, roasting, and preserving.

Small fruits — prolific producer. The best variety in the garden for drying and preservation.

Why This Plant Is Here

Principe Borghese has a specific role in this year's garden: flavor, beauty, pollinator support, story, or seasonal production.
