★★★★☆ Chocolate colored dwarf paste tomato - quite unique.

Though it is shaped like a paste tomato (and it is perfect for that use), it is juicy and delicious to eat sliced into salads as the flesh is not as dry as typical paste types. The unusual bronzy chocolate color combined with the yield and quality make this a very unique tomato winner.
