These modern hybrid tomatoes are cultivated in high tech, climate controlled greenhouses in the Netherlands. They are harvested in elegant trusses of four to six evenly ripened fruits, deep glossy red in colour and characterised by a firm dark green crown.
Beneath the firm skin lies juicy, dense flesh with a balanced ratio between sweetness and mild acidity. The tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C and the antioxidant lycopene.
Suppliers website| Environmental & biodiversity impact | Cultivation is focused on maximum efficiency with minimal ecological impact. All water is reused and supplemented with captured rainwater. Energy efficiency is achieved through combined heat and power systems, where heat and CO2 are reused to stimulate plant growth. Crop protection is entirely biological, using bumblebees for pollination and beneficial insects for pest control. |
| Animal welfare | Although there is no traditional livestock farming, the use of biological pest control and bumblebee pollination demonstrates a strong commitment to the wellbeing of beneficial insects and a healthy greenhouse ecosystem. |
| Social impact | The company culture is built on engagement and care for employees and supply chain partners. Good working conditions, ethical treatment of temporary workers and involvement in local initiatives are central. |
