Mystika is the variety that best captures what we look for: a tomato unlike any other, and one that holds its own on the plate.
On the outside it is almost black, with bluish highlights when the light catches it. That colour comes from anthocyanins, the natural pigments of this variety. Inside it is red, deep and fleshy. That contrast is where the name comes from — and the line we use in our campaigns: the enigma of intense flavour.
In the kitchen
It cuts cleanly and releases little water, so it works just as well raw — dressed with little more than good olive oil and flaked salt — as in dishes where the tomato has to carry the plate without falling apart.
For distributors
It is packed by hand on the farm itself, with no belts and no packing lines. It arrives without knocks and holds up longer on arrival, which is precisely the room for manoeuvre that whoever sells it needs.
