This tomato has been a favourite of gardeners on the island of Mallorca for over 100 years. Harvested green and braided on rope like peppers or bulbs of garlic, they are hung and slowly ripen.
Indeed, we harvest the still green fruits (see second photo) before the first frosts and we store them in a cardboard box, wrapped separately in a sheet of newspaper. They will mature very slowly. If possible, store these tomatoes at a temperature of around 15°C, they will keep even longer.
Harvested on September 15 in Le Bic, stored in the kitchen on wire shelves, in a warm area in sunlight, we ate our last Ramellet tomato with our Christmas dinner. Some of the biggest and most beautiful could very well have been kept longer, but we sacrificed them all to produce this batch of seeds.
