Vajon ez a Mallorca szépe és Mexico nem az a spájzban felakasztós, sokáig elálló fajta, ami Mallorca-n dívik?
Nem valószínű, mert azt olvastam, hogy az folytonnövő és vastag a héja. Jó lenne olyan is.
Ramellet / de ramallet / de colgar / de penjar / del Pinxo
Ez nem paradicsom név, hanem fajták, úgy mint pl. a beafsteak, vagy a koktél.
Spanyol honban és Mallorcan honos és fél, de akár 1 évig is eláll felakasztva.
Asszem ezek fajta nevek: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Last Winter.
Tomatiga de ramellet / de ramallet / de colgar / de penjar / del pinxo / tomaca ... is not a variety, it's a family of tomatoes. It's like saying beefsteak, or salad tomato. There are hundreds of long storage tomatoes varieties just in North East Spain, not just in Mallorca. Good varieties should store 6 months easily, up to a year. I opened some for seed last week as my wife was getting tired of having them in the kitchen (11 months in storage).
Relative humidity in North East Spain is high, specially in winter, so storing dry tomatoes was not an option. Winter storage tomatoes were the perfect solution. Most are not that good for salads, specially after some months in storage, but are the best for other uses.
Be very careful with comercial seeds of these, most are not the real thing, there are a few hybrids. Impostors look better, and produce more, but don't store well, and don't have the special flavour and aroma of the real ones. Impostors also are not good for rubbing on a piece of toast.
Some of these varieties are dry farmed, but not only these, many varieties of tomatoes were dry farmed. But note that dry farming tomatoes is kind of an art, it's much more than having the right variety.
