Tomato, 'Donatellina'

(Lycopersicon esculentum) 'Donatellina' belongs to the datterino category of grape tomatoes. Italian for "little dates", datterini are characterized by their rich, dense flesh and low water content, making them excellent both raw as salad tomatoes or, even better, roasted, atop pizza, or as slow-cooked confit... The flavor is exceptional, and might be our new favorite cherry-sized tomato, full stop. It strikes a different type of balance, defined neither by piercing sweetness nor sharp acidity, though it has plenty of both. It can best be described as having sublime balance, the full richness and flavor of a slicing tomato with the sweetness of a cherry, everything in perfect proportion..
The indeterminate plants have a very uniform growth architecture, and the long trusses can be allowed to ripen to the end and be harvested complete, "on the vine". Fruits are incredibly split-resistant and store for weeks in perfect condition after harvest. We had a couple of clusters hanging for well over a month in our kitchen this fall with virtually no deterioration in quality. While the fruits' durability lends well to outdoor production, the plants' uniform and vigorous growth structure also makes them well adapted to a two-leader greenhouse production system. The plants are shown to have resistance to tomato mosaic virus (TMV).
