Tomato Marmande Seeds

Solanum lycopersicum

Marmande is a classic French heirloom indeterminate (vining) tomato, long prized for its flavour. Originally from the town of Marmande in south-west France, it produces medium- to large-sized fruits with gently ribbed skin, deep red skin, and juicy yet meaty flesh.

Well balanced with good sweetness and acidity, Marmande is an excellent all-round kitchen tomato. Ideal for slicing, salads, cooking, and sauces, it performs reliably in greenhouses, polytunnels, and warm, sheltered outdoor spots in Ireland. A timeless variety that continues to earn its place in gardens and kitchens alike.

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.

  • Marmande is a wonderfully versatile kitchen tomato. Enjoy it fresh in salads and sandwiches, or slice and grill with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Its juicy yet meaty flesh also works beautifully in sauces, soups, and slow-cooked dishes, making it a dependable all-rounder for everyday cooking.

    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.
