During the Australian summer of 2007/08, 'Perth Pride' was selected and named by Tessa Millesse who lives in Perth, Western Australia. It was introduced in 2011.

When this tomato was sampled at the Raleigh Tomatopalooza tasting event some years ago, it elicited lots of oohs and ahhs because that intense, full flavor had a remarkable refreshing tang. I often get asked about helping folks find old fashioned, tangy flavored varieties. This is it! The medium sized, round purple tomatoes are produced in good quantity. I like to pick them at half ripeness and let them finish on the kitchen counter to work around a tendency to radially crack when fully vine ripened.
