The roots of this tomato are deep in French tradition and in black tomatoes

Marmande is a historic tomato variety named after the French town of the same name in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, where it has been cultivated for generations and is considered a true gastronomic specialty. It is a ribbed tomato with abundant flesh, traditionally prized for its meatiness and full-bodied flavor. The "black" variety belongs to the evocative family of black or dark tomatoes, intensely colored varieties—often derived from ancient selections and natural crosses—that owe their brown and purple hues to a particularly rich concentration of anthocyanin pigments, the same ones found in berries. These tomatoes, with their unusual charm, are now being rediscovered and loved for their complex flavor and high nutritional value. A blend of the French Marmande tradition and the contemporary allure of dark tomatoes.
