(AKA Astiana?) “A rare heirloom sauce tomato brought to the US by Chef Cesare Casella from his hometown of Lucca, Italy, Canestrino di Lucca captivates with its unique flavor profile, which is loaded with umami and sweetness. It is a very dry sauce tomato with a deep, rich red color and voluptuous pleats. While its highest use is as a sauce fruit, it also makes a solid fresh-eating tomato, especially great for salads or other uses in which a drier-fleshed fruit is desired.” Text and picture from Hudson Valley Seed.
