Tomato ‘Ghittia’
Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum
Type: Indeterminate (Cordon)

Tomato ‘Ghittia’ is a traditional Italian beefsteak variety prized for its large, ribbed fruits and rich, full-bodied flavour. Each fruit boasts deep red flesh, a meaty texture, and very few seeds — making it ideal for slicing, salads, and sauces. This indeterminate (cordon) type produces a steady harvest throughout summer, with plants that benefit from staking and regular pinching. With its authentic Mediterranean flavour and bold presence, ‘Ghittia’ is a favourite for gourmet growers and tomato lovers alike.
