Green Tomato Chutney

At Fat Tomato, we grow over 100 heritage tomato varieties each year — in every imaginable colour, size, and shape. Some are best eaten simply, with flaky Irish sea salt and good olive oil, while others, with their rich, fleshy texture, are perfect for preserving.

As the season draws to a close and the colder weather sets in, green tomatoes remain on the vines, never quite ripening. Rather than let them go to waste, we turn them into one of our most-loved preserves: green tomato chutney.

Made with our own green tomatoes, Bramley apples, yellow onions, and heritage garlic, it is slow-cooked with organic spices and our heritage apple cider vinegar, aged in French oak barrels. The tartness is naturally balanced by Deglet Nour dates and Turkish sultanas, bringing a gentle sweetness and depth without relying on excess sugar.

Rich, tangy, and deeply savoury, this chutney rewards time. As it matures, the sharpness softens, and the flavours develop into something round, balanced, and complex.

Serve with farmhouse cheeses, cold meats, or alongside a full Irish breakfast. Particularly good with blue cheeses — we love it with Crozier Blue, Ireland’s only sheep’s milk blue from Tipperary.

Available as a 225g wide-neck glass jar for everyday use, or as a Gift Box, wrapped in our illustrated paper — inspired by the Wexford and Irish food story — and presented in our signature black box.
