2. Color: the ribbed tomato has a very intense red hue, which becomes almost dark once fully ripe.

3. Culture: the ribbed tomato is a typical variety of Tuscany, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It is particularly appreciated for being used in the preparation of dishes which require firm and juicy tomatoes.
