The "Consoluto Fiorentino" tomato is an Italian heirloom variety known for its distinct flattened and heavily ribbed shape. This beefsteak-type tomato has a unique appearance, with deep, irregular ridges that give it a somewhat scalloped or "ruffled" look. Its name "Costoluto Fiorentino" translates to "Ribbed Florentine" in English, referring to both its ribbed texture and its Italian origin.

The flavor of Costoluto Fiorentino tomatoes is often described as rich, robust, and tangy. The fruit can range in color from deep red to slightly orange when fully ripe. It's commonly used in sauces, salsas, and other culinary applications where its bold flavor and meaty texture can shine.

Growing Costoluto Fiorentino tomatoes requires providing them with full sun, well-draining soil, and proper spacing. The unique ribbing can sometimes make them more susceptible to cracking, so consistent watering and good soil moisture management are important to prevent this issue. As with other heirloom tomatoes, these plants might require additional care in terms of disease and pest management, but the flavorful and distinctive fruits they produce can make the effort well worth it for gardeners and food
