Sart Roloise

The Sart Roloise tomato is a show-stopper for any garden. This is just a stunning looking tomato. Where most anthocyanin varieties lack in flavor, that doesn't apply to the Sart Roloise. It has a very unique and distinct coloration. It is one of the few varieties that is black on the top side and white on the bottom end. There are also usually bluish-blackish vertical streaks on the lower parts of this beautiful tomato. They turn dark purple wherever the sun touches them and are sweet and earthy with lots of juice. That makes this variety perfect for a tomato sandwich or on top of a burger. The plants can easily reach 8-10' so be sure to either prune them or give them space to sprawl.

The Sart Roloise tomato originated in the Sart region of Belgium. Roland Boulanger, of Sart Eustache, Belgium, created the variety in 2012 by crossing White Wonder, a white beefsteak, and Baby Blue, an anthocyanin cherry variety. It is a beefsteak variety that is slightly flattened and round in shape. The shoulders are ribbed and plump. Fruits typically weigh between 10-20 ounces. Sart Roloise (pronounced s-art roe-lay) is an indeterminate, regular leaf variety that is best for fresh eating.
