SAVOURING THE SEASON:
HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

We spent a long time trying to find the British tomatoes that you had been asking us for. We knew that great tomatoes were being grown in the UK but the ones we tried often lacked the depth of flavour we were used to. We learnt that this was in part due to the varieties being grown. Many varieties that grow exceptionally well in Southern Europe, for example, don’t taste the same when grown in British Climates. There is a reason we call them Cuore del Vesuvios and will not be calling them Cuore del Ben Nevis any time soon. This got us thinking about which varieties might flourish in home soil.

After years of trial and error, our sourcing team found varieties that thrive in British climates and sent seeds to growers who might be familiar to you (including Oli in Cornwall, Anthony in Hampshire and Adam in Pembrokeshire). And so, Natoora’s British Heirloom tomato project was underway. We now have seven growers involved in this project, growing fifteen different varieties between them, over the whole season. This is an ever-evolving labour of love, as growers are saving the best seeds each year and we are all learning whose soil works best with each variety.

This marks the fifth year of our UK Heirloom tomato project. And so far each year has been better than the last, thanks to the dedication of our growers. Each box is varied, offering the very best of British summer time and we’re keen to see how you use their breadth of flavours and textures.

Go Deeper

See all

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
