Campari is a type of hybrid tomato noted for its juiciness, high sugar level, low acidity, and lack of mealiness. Camparis are deep red and larger than a pear or cherry tomato , but smaller and rounder than common plum tomatoes . They are often sold as "tomato-on-the-vine" (TOV) in supermarkets, a category of tomato that has become increasingly popular over the years. Campari tomatoes can be produced from different varieties with similar characteristics, the standard being Mountain Magic. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} As a hybrid, the seeds cost around $150,000 per pound. ^[5]

The company Mastronardi Produce registered the term "Campari" as a United States trademark for its tomatoes in 2003; however, the trademark was challenged in 2006 based on claims that "Campari" is actually the general name for the tomato variety bred in the 1990s by the Dutch company Enza Zaden . ^{[6] [7]}

Characteristics [ edit ]

A typical Campari cultivar is a globe-shaped hybrid with regular leaves, and exhibits resistance to the tobacco mosaic virus . The plant grows 6?8 feet (1.8?2.4 m), and matures in 70?80 days. ^[8]
