However, this variety has a particular flavor when the plants grow on saline soils near the sea coast. When growing in such conditions, this tomato has a combination of a sweet and slightly salty taste and a very bright flavor. The flesh is buttery, sugary and juicy enough, and the walls are firm and crisp.
