\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Rosa de Perales<\/strong> is a traditional indeterminate<\/strong> heirloom beefsteak originating from Perales (Le\u00f3n), Spain. The vigorous vines produce large, smooth, crack-resistant pink slicers weighing 11-18 oz (300-500 g)<\/strong> with classic green shoulders that fade upon full ripeness. Flavor reviews highlight the variety’s intense sun requirement: exceptional and richly balanced in high heat, but somewhat plain in cool, overcast northern regions. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Grew this from two separate seed sources, one direct Spanish line and one from Secret Seed Cartel.
\nBoth produced large pink tomatoes, slightly different in shape from one another, but the flavor fell a bit flat on both plants. Indeterminate vine, mid-season maturity.

Grew it from two seed sources as well. This heirloom comes out of Perales, in the Le\u00f3n province of Spain (Perales translates to pear trees in Spanish).
\nIndeterminate vine, mid-season maturity. Produces a large, gorgeous pink beefsteak around 10-20 oz (300-500 g). Showed those typical green shoulders you see on so many authentic Spanish varieties, but they melt away completely once the fruit fully ripens. Truly one of the prettiest tomatoes in my garden this season. Smooth skin, completely crack-free.
\nThe flavor is remarkably well-balanced, not overly sour and not overly sweet. The flesh is dense without being tough, hitting that sweet spot between solid meat and juice. I absolutely love Spanish and Italian varieties, haven’t found a bad one yet. Must be the sunny climate match. These beauties definitely crave intense full sun.
