All about the Oxheart Tomato

The Oxheart tomato is one of the most prized varieties among both farmers and food lovers. Its unique appearance, unmistakable flavor, and meaty texture make it a gourmet product that stands out in the market and in the kitchen.

Main Characteristics

The Oxheart tomato gets its name from its distinctive shape: it resembles a large, rounded heart. It is a large tomato—it can weigh over 500 grams—with a thin skin, very meaty flesh, and few seeds. Its color varies between pinkish-red and orange, depending on its ripeness.

Exceptional Flavor and Texture

This tomato is distinguished by its sweet and mild flavor, with very low acidity. The texture is firm yet juicy, making it ideal for eating raw. It's no coincidence that it's a favorite among chefs and restaurateurs for salads, carpaccios, or minimalist presentations where the product shines on its own.

Culinary Uses

The Oxheart tomato is versatile, but it is especially valued for dishes where it is not cooked, in order to preserve its natural flavor and delicate texture. Some of its most frequent uses are:

Fresh salads with extra virgin olive oil

Tomato carpaccio with basil and flaked salt

Gazpacho or salmorejo with a gourmet touch

Cold stuffed tomatoes

Eating it directly as an appetizer with a little salt

Due to its low water content and dense pulp, it is not the best tomato for making cooked sauces.
