I have good luck with the Campari also, very flavorful year round.  I usually get them at Trader Joes, Sam's Club, or Sprouts.

LOL @Citrine1 . its a pork hot dog made by Zweigle's that originated in rochester ny.   one year my brother flew down (he was coming anyway) with a cooler full. LOL.

Oh ok.  hahaha  Thanks for the explanation @fancy pantsy .  When I read the words "white hot", I was thinking of long hots (the peppers) and thought maybe it was some sort of pepper.  LOL  I had no idea!

I finally got around to trying these tomatoes last week @suzyQ3 .  You're right, they were delicious.  I ate them as a snack, by themselves.  Finished the container in two days.  I'll be buying these again.  Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm pleased to see that Whole Foods reduced the prices of their organic Roma tomatoes and also the Campari tomatoes (along with many other price reductions---not be be confused with sales for a limited time).

I make my own pasta topping (it's not really a *sauce*) using their Romas, but I love a Campari in a salad or with an avocado on toast.

My favorite for making a pasta sauce is still the Cento organic canned San Marzano plum tomatoes.

Now I'm hungry.  I LVE tomatoes!

Campari tomatoes are the best. I buy them summer and winter.  Publix has them on sale this week buy one get one free .And if you only need one package it's 1/2 price.

Yay, @Citrine1 . They are worth every penny, and I found that they have a better longevity than on-the-vines. Never refrigerate them.

When I slice them, I always eat both ends that I otherwise would dump. It makes you realize just why tomatoes are actually a fruit!
