Brandywine, brandy wine tomato
Probably the first heirloom tomato to achieve "cult
status" within the growing popularity of
heirloom tomatoes. A pink, potato-leaf, Amish
variety from the 1880’s. Years ago, seed saving
was done by individuals who understood that the
greatest thing they could pass on to the next
generation was some of the treasured food plants
that had sustained life and had proven their
value. One such pioneer was a man named Ben
Quinsenbury, who lived in Vermont. He died at
the age of 95, passing on his legacy. The
Brandywine was Ben’s favourite tomato. In years
of my holding tomato tastings for chefs and
tomato lovers, the Brandywine has always placed
as one of the top three favourites. It is
legendary for it’s exceptionally rich, succulent
tomato flavour. Fruits are reddish-pink, with
light, creamy flesh that average 12 ounces but
can grow to 2 pounds. |
