Rediscovering our land through traditional varieties of tomatoes and making this vegetable known to everyone while complying with all the necessary quality and safety requirements. This the mission of ìNaturCuoreî, a range of products of the Orto di Eleonora dedicated to tomatoes. NaturCuore tomatoes are grown with integrated control techniques and are GLOBALG.A.P certified, meaning that they are continuously monitored in all stages from cultivation to marketing. Tomatoes are well known for being good antioxidants and a source of vitamins due to their high water and lycopene content and the good levels of vitamins. They also contain various minerals: iron, zinc, selenium, phosphorus and calcium. The health benefits deriving from the consumption of tomatoes are therefore remarkable: they have diuretic, detoxifying, digestive and antioxidant properties.

The Cuore di Bue is one of the best known and appreciated tomato varieties for its great taste as well as for its characteristic appearance. It has the shape of a pear and is slightly ribbed; it is characterized by having few seeds and by the meaty floury pulp which makes it particularly suitable for salads. After ripening, it gets its characteristic light green colour with a pinkish tip.
