Overview
Italian Giant Paste is an heirloom paste tomato with dark pink, plum-shaped fruit that can reach a pound. The flesh is dry and nearly seedless, so it cooks down quickly into sauce. Vines are indeterminate with dense, lacy foliage, and they ripen in the main season on a tall stake or cage. A good choice for sauce makers who want fewer, larger fruit to process.
