heirloom tomato

The heirloom tomato is an open-cultivated cultivar of tomato whose seeds have been handed down from generation to generation. What allows it to maintain the heirloom name is that no genetically modified organism can be used in its production. Heirloom tomatoes come in many colors and varieties, and are celebrated by Italians who use it primarily for Caprese Salad, a dish of sliced heirloom tomatoes, buffalo mozzerella and chiffonade basil topped with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sea salt.
