There is a lot of benefit to working with tomatoes with a lower water and seed content when making fresh sauces and canning although I do use like to use hearts as well and very meaty brefsteaks
Marzano fire is reallyexcellent and my current favourite real sauce tomato . Unlike many specific paste tomatoes it’s very good fresh as well as cooked.
It’s a semi determinate plant.
I find most indeterminant pastes are a bit too late season for my area, so I am working on some that are earlier and in colours other than red I have a nice chocolate and a really beautiful bicolour set as well. They are on potato leaf plants, which makes them a little bit different as well.
