What makes it special?

Rio Largo is an open-pollinated breed from ReinSaat with oval, red and thick-fleshed fruit. The high-yielding cordon tomato grows indeterminate and ripens around mid-season.

Its well-balanced flavour and firm flesh make it versatile: fresh for salad and bruschetta, just as much as for sauce, soup and preserving.

Flavour & Use

Well-balanced, aromatic and tomato-like with a good ratio of sweetness and acidity. For salad, bruschetta, sauce, soup, drying and preserving.

Fruit & Plant

Oval to elongated, red and thick-fleshed plum tomatoes at around 100–150 g. A firm structure for eating fresh and processing.

Growing & Care

Grow in a full-sun, warm and, where possible, sheltered spot. Train to one or two shoots and tie in securely. Water evenly; in a pot, use at least 25 litres of soil.

Rio Largo tomato plant – a young plant raised by us

Rio Largo – special features of the variety

Rio Largo is a breed from ReinSaat for market and home gardening. The variety grows indeterminate and produces oval, red fruit with thick flesh. It ripens around the middle of the tomato season and suits a cold tunnel as well as sheltered outdoor spots.

Fruit, flavour and use

The fruit weighs around 100 to 150 grams and has a firm, meaty structure. Its flavour is well-balanced, aromatic and classically tomato-like. Rio Largo can be used fresh in salads, bruschetta and a light lunch. At the same time, it suits sauce, soup, drying and preserving.

Growing in a bed or pot

As a tall cordon tomato, Rio Largo is trained on a sturdy support and tied in regularly. One or two main shoots keep growing manageable. Plant in a full-sun, warm and, where possible, sheltered spot. In a pot, use at least 25 litres of soil and avoid strong swings in soil moisture.

A tomato young plant, raised by us

We raise the Rio Largo tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Highly recommended!

Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.

The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!

Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

longterm customer

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier

Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!

Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.

I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
