King Umberto, also called King Humbert, is one of the oldest named tomato varieties- pre-1800s.

Originally named after the King of Italy and described in Vilmorin 1885, this small medium red 2 oz. pear shaped paste tomato is meaty and juicy with a slightly acidic, yet sweet balance of flavors.

Great for sauces or drying, it is a really great little paste tomato.
