Cornue des Andes paste tomato

Description

An unusual and striking heritage tomato, Andine Cornue is instantly recognisable by its long, horn-shaped fruits. Originally from South America, this variety has become highly prized in European kitchen gardens for its dense flesh, excellent flavour and very low seed content.
