Prácticamente no saben a nada, como los de mercadona

1 Kg of Raf Tomato from Níjar, an authentic winter tomato that ripens from the inside out, with a crispy skin, very juicy flesh, and a unique balance of sweetness, acidity, and a slight salty touch.

Grown in sustainable greenhouses with saline waters from Almería, it is the perfect tomato to enjoy raw in salads, on toast, or simply with a good olive oil.

Tomato from Nijar

Nijar Raf Tomato, also known as ribbed tomato, comes from carefully selected crops in the Nijar region (Almería), one of the most renowned areas for high-quality and flavorful tomatoes.

With its irregular and ribbed shape, its skin can exhibit shades ranging from green to red, and its flesh is meaty, firm, and very tasty. It stands out for its sweeter and more aromatic flavor than other varieties, even in mid-winter when finding truly flavorful tomatoes is more difficult.

Characteristics of the Nijar Raf Tomato

The name Raf comes from "Resistant to Fusarium", a common fungus in tomato cultivation. It was developed in the 60s–70s in Almería, designed to be cultivated in challenging conditions (saline water and poor soils).

  • Very sweet, with high Brix levels (sometimes 9–11).
  • Balanced acidity → very intense and complex flavor.
  • Meaty texture, not floury, and very juicy.
  • Intense, sweet, and balanced flavor, with a good natural aroma.
  • Perfect to enjoy raw, with extra virgin olive oil and salt, or in salads and toasts.
  • Traditionally cultivated in winter.

What makes this Raf special is its balance between sweetness, acidity, and a slight salty hint, resulting from its irrigation with more saline waters and slow growth during the cold months of the year. This slow ripening allows it to accumulate more natural sugars (higher Brix levels), making each bite intense, aromatic, and very flavorful, with a firm and crunchy skin and a pink, meaty, and very juicy flesh.

The traditional cultivation of this tomato in Nijar has adapted to drought conditions and environments close to the sea, taking advantage of the ambient humidity and sea mists in the region's greenhouses. It is a true example of how nature adapts in extreme conditions to produce a gourmet product, highly valued in winter, especially from December to April, when it is at its peak flavor.

How to enjoy your Nijar Raf tomato:

  • Ideal for consuming raw, in simple salads, or just with salt and a good extra virgin olive oil, to avoid masking its flavor.

  • Perfect for toasts, vegetable carpaccios, or as a base for cold dishes where the tomato is the star.

  • Best stored outside the fridge and consumed when it begins to show reddish tones but still retains green streaks; if it turns completely red, it will be too ripe and lose some of its charm.

If you enjoy tomatoes with a “homegrown” flavor and are looking for a distinctive winter tomato, the Nijar Raf will become one of those unforgettable products.
