The Black Cherry Tomato is a relatively recent cherry tomato variety that has quickly become a favorite among gourmets and gardeners. Belonging to the species Solanum lycopersicum, this indeterminate growth cultivar is prized for its unique combination of cherry size and the flavor complexity of black tomato varieties.
The flavor profile of the Black Cherry Tomato is its biggest differentiator: it is rich, complex, and slightly smoky, with a concentrated sweetness balanced by a very mild acidity. The flavor is deep, reminiscent of the intense umami taste of dark heirloom tomatoes, but in a snack format. The pulp is juicy but firm, with a thin skin that offers a burst of flavor upon biting.
Visually, the Black Cherry is one of the most beautiful and distinct varieties. The fruits are round, about the size of a cherry or a small walnut, and grow in long, dense clusters. Its ripening color gives it its name: it matures to a deep purple-brown, almost black, with a slight reddish glow under sunlight. This dark, intense color makes it a stunning contrast element in salads.
Due to its complex and rich flavor, the Black Cherry Tomato is ideal for raw consumption. It is highly recommended for:
