Those involved in the cultivation of tomatoes know that looks and taste are important in the business.
A yellow tomato needs a ‘yellow taste’ to be successful, and De Ruiter has accomplished this success with the introduction of the vine cherry tomato SV0948TS.
SV0948TS can be harvested either individually or as a bunch. This has led to the variety already being standard in the assortment of the two largest Swiss supermarkets in various segments such as loose, vine, combi-package and pick and mix.
The best-known retailers in the UK and Germany have also responded positively to SV0948TS.
At the PMA Fresh Connections conference held in Melbourne recently, De Ruiter hosted a Sensory Tomato Experience where industry representatives who visited the booth could taste a range of snacking tomatoes and rate them according to juiciness and sweetness.
The yellow cherry was one of the star performers with most of the participants in the experience agreeing it was the tastiest tomato of the bunch.
