Crovarese - flavorless two seasons in a row.
Has anyone else grown this before? It’s fairly early for a grape-style tomato and its size, but it’s soft-skinned (as advertised), mealy, and flavorless. “Sweet and tangy” it is not thoughts from anyone else who has grown it?

Hundreds of good ones out there. Hundreds of bad ones.
Sounds like you found a bad one. Curious Why did you grow it again if was not good last year? |

My uncle grew it as part of a mixed cherry and grape basket we sell at our garden center. He's very stubborn Luckily it's not too many plants but I'm going to keep this one out of the baskets. I was just curious if someone has actually grown this and found it to be sweet/flavorful is all. I'd like to grow a tomato of similar size but with good flavor to fill a basket quickly to reduce labor.

Do you grow hybrids? If so and you want to fill baskets check out some of the big new cherries from Fred at artisan seeds. I understand they are doing very well for growers. I grow them as well but in a garden so that’s different than selling fruit. KarenO |

To me, Soft Skin on a Tomato is like a very thin delicate soft surface that melts in your mouth joined by tomato flavor of it's juice flash. Thick Skin in Heirloom Tomatoes has a thick juicy membrane with the flesh before the seedy flesh ections, followed by Juicy deep Tomato Favor in both Cherry Tomatoes and Large Tomatoes. Thick Skin in Hybrids Tomatoes means toughness in the flesh and membrane before the juiciness of the Tomato of Cherry Tomatoes.
