📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Cosentino sel Claudia
- 🌍 Origin: A wonderful, highly productive family heirloom from Italy. (“Sel Claudia” likely denotes a specific selection by a grower named Claudia).
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall), mid-season. Known for being extremely reliable and heat-tolerant, displaying zero blossom drop even when grown in the sunniest spots of the greenhouse.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Beautiful crimson (deep pink) tomatoes with a distinct blocky, barrel-like shape (plump plums). They are medium-sized, typically weighing between 100g and 250g (3.5–9 oz).
- 👅 Flavor: The flesh is meaty, juicy, and very sweet.
- ⏳ Grower Notes: A fantastic dual-purpose tomato. They are juicy enough to be used as fresh salad tomatoes, but their meaty texture and barrel shape make them absolutely perfect for whole-fruit canning.

I was surprised not to find this in the catalog yet! So here is the description: Italy. Indeterminate. Mid-season, very highly productive variety. Fruits are crimson, barrel-shaped, meaty, very tasty, sweet, weighing 150-250g (5–9 oz).
Everything is exactly as described. Spot on. No fluff. A good, productive variety. Great for canning. I grew it in 2020.
An excellent variety! It set fruit perfectly. It grew on the sunny side right against the side wall of the greenhouse, with absolutely zero blossom drop.
The tomatoes are great for salads, on the smaller side, 100+ to 200 g (3.5–7 oz). Pink, juicy, tasty. A heavy yielder.
