Black Krim

Black krim makes its way to us from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea off the coast of the Crimean Peninsula. 

Black krim produces beefsteak tomatoes that are 4' long by 5 1/2" wide.  Deeply mahogany colored, slighlty flattened with green gel coats. 

As for taste...I think Amy Goldman in her book The Heirloom Tomato says it best..."The flavor is exotic and musky; the fruit acid hits me in the roof of my mouth and tickles my tongue.  Others describe Black Krim as very intense, smoky or salty."
Can turn almost black with enough heat and sun. Excellent full flavor and one of the finest tasting tomatoes. Great as a large slicer for salad, snack, or sandwich. Indeterminate.
