What makes it special?

Roma is a classic red sauce and paste tomato with elongated to egg-shaped fruit. Its firm, thick-fleshed interior contains comparatively little juice and few seeds, and processes efficiently.

The determinate bush tomato stays more compact than a cordon tomato and can be trained with several shoots. It suits a bed, sheltered outdoor beds and a sufficiently large pot.

Flavour & Use

Mildly aromatic, well-balanced and classically tomato-like. For sauce, passata, tomato paste, preserving, bruschetta, grilling and oven dishes.

Fruit & Plant

Red, broadly elongated to egg-shaped paste tomatoes with firm flesh and few seeds. Usually around 80–100 g.

Growing & Care

Plant in a sunny, warm and sheltered spot. Let it grow with several shoots rather than classic pruning; support with stakes or a cage under heavy fruit load. In a pot, use at least 15–20 litres of soil.

Roma tomato plant – a young plant raised by us

Roma – special features of the variety

Roma belongs to the well-known peeled-tomato and paste-tomato types. The plant grows determinate, making it bushier and more limited than a classic cordon tomato. Its red fruit is broadly elongated to egg-shaped with firm flesh and comparatively few seeds.

Fruit, flavour and use

The tomatoes, usually weighing 80 to 100 grams, taste mildly aromatic and well-balanced. Their low juice content shortens cooking time for sauce, passata and tomato paste. Roma is also great for preserving, bruschetta, grilling and oven dishes, and diced for dishes that shouldn't get too watery.

Growing in a bed or pot

The bush tomato is grown with multiple shoots and isn't pruned regularly like a cordon tomato. Under heavy fruit load, several stakes or a tomato cage help. Plant in a sunny, warm and sheltered spot, water evenly and avoid waterlogging. In a pot, plan for at least 15 to 20 litres of substrate.

A tomato young plant, raised by us

We raise the Roma 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!
