Usually the blue tomatoes have a weird taste for me, but this one was really good. I hope to try to breed from it too.

From what I could find with a couple quick searches,
Darkloom appears to be a blue to black heirloom tomato. One site I saw was advertising them for sale, certified organic, grown in Mexico. All the 3 or 4 sites I went to listed them as heirlooms, so I'm guessing you would be safe saving seed off of them. I did NOT notice any seed vendors with this tomato listed, but I may look a little farther.
