Rosso Bruno Tomatoes - Selecting & Storing
Topic: Tips
How to Select
Rosso Bruno is at its peak of flavor when the tomato is a reddish-brown color with hints of green most notable around the top of the tomato where the vine was attached. Once the tomato is completely red, that is a sign that it is overripe and the flavor is beginning to fade. It’s OK to eat when red, but the flavor will not be as rich and robust.

How to Store
Ideally it’s best to store Rosso Bruno and all tomatoes between 54¡ - 58¡ F. In home it’s tough to find a 55¡ F space, so we recommend you keep tomatoes at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Definitely, do not refrigerate. Refrigerator temperatures are generally set around 36¡ F which is too cold for tomatoes. Contrary to what most people think, when you refrigerate your tomatoes they actually lose flavor and will not last as long. Wash just before use.
