The pear tomato stands out for its elongated shape and mild, sweet flavor. It is very versatile in the kitchen, being ideal for dishes like gazpacho and salmorejo, as well as cold soups, preserves, and sauces. This tomato is particularly suitable for making fried tomatoes, enjoying in salads, or spreading on bread because it has a lot of flesh and a very thin skin. It originates from Spain and is not greenhouse-grown, which gives it an authentic flavor. It is recommended to store it in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for more than a week. Although they can be frozen, it is not ideal, as they may lose properties. If they ripen too much, they are excellent for making sauce and preserving it in jars throughout the year.
