History

• An old Italian variety from Robert Schiavone's family. Robert's grandfather came over to America when he was just seven years old (in around 1910). He came from a small town just outside of Palermo (Sicily) called Borgetto. When he and his seven brothers came over, they brought various things from the homeland and one of them were these tomato seeds. This was a special type of tomato that they used for sauces and they wanted to grow it in America. Robert's grandfather passed away in 2003 and Robert, as well as his late father, took over growing the seed.
• Introduced commercially by Victory Seed Company in 2012.
