Tomato Ox Heart Cœur de Bœuf Seeds

€4.50

Solanum lycopersicum

Oxheart Cœur de Bœuf is a traditional French heirloom indeterminate (vining) tomato characterised by its large, reddish fruits and pronounced ribbing. The fruits are longish and heart-shaped, ripening from soft pink to deep red with excellent, well-balanced flavour.

A vigorous grower, this variety produces substantial crops of impressive fruits with dense, meaty flesh. Grow inside a polytunnel or glasshouse as the large fruits benefit from consistent warmth and shelter. Ideal for slicing, salads, stuffing, and slow-cooked dishes.

Average number of seeds: 14

Open-pollinated, chemical-free Irish garden seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Ox Heart tomatoes are prized for their dense, meaty flesh and low juice, making them ideal for both fresh eating and cooking. Slice thickly for salads with extra-virgin olive oil and flaky sea salt, roast halved tomatoes until soft and caramelised, or cook slowly to make rich, naturally thick sauces. They’re also excellent for stuffing and preserving, and freeze well for later use in soups, stews, and pasta dishes.

    During tomato season, we eat tomatoes morning, noon, and night, as they bring us so much joy after months of nurturing. We eat them like sweets, in pasta dishes, or as part of a simple tomato salad with flaky sea salt.

    We also preserve tomatoes in various ways for the year ahead, making sauces, jams, and chutneys. Fresh tomatoes can be frozen whole for later use in pasta sauces, stews, soups, and casseroles.
