Paste designates dense meaty with low water content.
Plum designates an elongated shape
Costoluto Genovese is a dense meaty tomato therefore is a paste type
97L97 as mentioned above is interesting as a paste tomato because of the 40X carotene. Flavor is seriously deficient IMO.
I have some seed from a Rio Grande bee made cross that would be interesting to pursue if someone wants to give it a try. It looks like a beefsteak red crossed to the elongated Rio Grande. Possible segregants could include a huge deep oval tomato.
