Coeur de Boeuf
The Coeur de Boeuf, also known as "ox heart," is a unique and distinctive variety known for its unusual heart shape and excellent flavor. The name, which literally means "ox heart" in French, refers to the large, lobe-shaped fruit that somewhat resembles a heart.
These tomatoes are particularly large and can reach impressive weights, often up to 300 grams each.
