And probably you don't know the best... have you ever try a "cuore di bue"?

These are amazing! I grew these in Santa Monica CA a couple of years ago and they came out the size of large mangoes with the best flavor I've tasted in a tomato. http://www.growitalian.com/tomato-cuor-di-bue-oxheart-106-24...
Yeah, the ideal tomato for salads and/or with mozzarella

Heirloom tomatoes...

In next door Albania they are called "Zemërkau", which it translates "cuore di bue". Very delish, and fortunately local farmers like to grow them for themselves, so you will always find cheap good ones during the season.

The reason they are really good as they are the most similar to the original wild tomatoes, and less likely to have been modified just because their color and shape as most grocery common tomatoes are.

Fun fact: "cuore di bue" means heart of a bull.

I've had amazing tomatoes of this species, but I've also had many watery ones...so I'm guessing the greenhouse-to-supermarket waterbombing effect is more important than the actual species.

thanks for the recommendation.

the Vorlon is also very tasty
