Astiana Tomato Seeds
Astiana tomatoes are large, meaty, beautifully colored and shaped tomatoes with deep and rich flavor. Slightly juicier than a San Marzano or Roma, and good as a slicer; but a really, really, really (!) great sauce tomato. The best we’ve ever grown.
Mostly less lobed and easier to peel than Costoluto varieties and much bigger than most Romas or San Marzanos. 1 pound each is common and 10 oz is average. WAY better tasting than San Marzano Gigante or Amish Paste. Few seeds.
Originally sourced from the Po Valley, Italy by Ayers Creek Farm. They grew and bred these wonderful tomatoes perfectly for years but closed forever 4 years ago. I’ve grown Astiana for years and I’m not aware of other sources of seed for this strain.
Delicious, high yield, blossom end-rot resistant (here in Portland, Oregon). What more could you want?
Seeds from “pink” (the original color, something like a Brandywine) or red fruits = $5 for 0.2 grams – about ½ what the great Territorial Seeds charges for tomatoes.
$20 for 1 gram (that’s a lot – more than a home gardener needs but great for sharing with friends)
Skeptical? Google it and see what others think. We sell out every year – so don’t wait too long. February will be here before you know it.
E-mail pdxseeds@gmail.com to inquire about larger orders.
Orders ship US Mail 1st class, (usually) the next business day.
