EU: Choco Tom – The New Organic Taste Champion

As of this week, consumers can enjoy a new organic tomato variety namely the Choco Tom.  Dutch grower Ruud van Schie is the first to grow this absolutely delicious, chocolate brown tomato gem. Nature & More buyer Rein Burger was delighted to officially receive the first carton from Ruud. 

The Choco Tom is sold on the vine because it helps the tomato hold its unique taste.  The bite sized tomatoes are not only sweet but also have a fabulously rich aroma. Furthermore the balance between juiciness and structure is exactly right. Many people will agree that this is certainly one of the best tasting tomatoes currently available.

According to Ruud van Schie, the organic production method also contributes to the full bodied taste: “Although it takes longer to grow tomatoes in the soil as opposed to substrate, the tomato has a much more intense flavor and aroma because it is allowed to grow naturally”  

Ruud who has been growing organic tomatoes and bell peppers since 1997, is not only focusing on great tasting products but also on making his business more sustainable. Together with the Agricultural University in Wageningen for example he managed to lower is energy use by 20%.

The first cartons filled with organic Choco Toms have already gone out to customers in The Netherlands and Germany.
