Corbarino is an Italian heirloom tomato grown on the slopes of the Lattari Mountains in Campania, southern Italy. The elongated, plum shaped tomatoes – a bit bigger than cherry tomatoes – are traditionally grown under low irrigation conditions and have a sweet-tangy, rich flavour. The beautiful 5 ft (150 cm) plants are hardy and productive.
Corbarino tomatoes have been the subject of numerous scientific papers because of their high nutritional quality. In particular, Corbarino tomatoes are high in Vitamin C and polyphenols, an important antioxidant.
Corbarino tomatoes are traditionally used as a preserving and cooking/sauce making tomato, we also like to snack on them as fresh tomatoes.
