A rare indeterminate heirloom from Russia, yielding large fruits that resemble a barrel filled with liquid honey.

A word from your seed curator : "The Barrel of Honey (Bochka Mioda) lives up to its name. Originating from Russia, this vigorous indeterminate plant produces tomatoes with slightly rounded shoulders, reminiscent of a small barrel filled with honey. Its flesh, more orange than yellow, is dense, rich, and contains few seeds. On the palate, it is exceptionally sweet and rich, with a melting texture that recalls liquid honey. It is the tomato grown for visual delight and flavor complexity: in salads, its color brightens the plate."
