Offered in the Seed Savers 2011 Yearbook.

7. Flavor Profile: Sweet and slightly tart. Tomato flavor with a fruity aftertaste. The flesh is meaty and buttery, and the walls are thick.

8. Culinary Use: A universal tomato being a good slicer and a good choice for salads, juices, sauces or canning whole tomatoes.

AAA Sweet Solano has very beautiful bushes and amazing clusters with lots of fruits. It has proved to be a stable variety. However, a British tomato breeder has reported that his plants produced plum-shaped fruits.
