\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Piedmont Flask<\/em> is a late-season, indeterminate<\/strong> heirloom tracing its roots back to Northern Italy. It produces unique, large bottle-shaped fruits<\/strong> weighing up to 14 oz (400 g). Like many classic Italian paste types, it has dense meat and a balanced flavor, making it excellent for dehydrating. However, growers in shorter or cooler climates may struggle to ripen it on the vine. Keep in mind that counter-ripened fruits may develop a hard white core and have a shorter shelf life due to neck rot. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Piedmont Flask.<\/strong> Seeds from Zolushka.<\/p>\n

Indeterminate. Late-season. Really cool bottle-shaped fruits.
\nIn my climate, they don’t ripen on the vine, so I have to pick them green and ripen them indoors.
\nThe largest “bottle” weighed in around 14 oz (400 g).<\/p>\n

The counter-ripened ones don’t hold up well in storage at all\u2014the necks start to rot. Plus, even after ripening indoors, they still have a hard white core inside.<\/p>\n

Despite all that, it’s a very interesting variety. The flavor is your classic, old-fashioned tomato taste\u2014not overly sweet, but not acidic either. Yields were average. They are absolutely perfect for dehydrating (making sun-dried tomatoes).<\/p>\n
