Negrillo de Almoguera

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Negrillo de Almoguera

A rare and iconic heirloom from the La Mancha region of Spain, Negrillo de Almoguera delivers extraordinary visual appeal and unforgettable flavor. These tall, sprawling indeterminate plants yield medium-to-large beefsteak fruits, slightly flattened and shoulder-ribbed, with stunning coloration: dark red-purple skins with greenish shoulders, and deep, rich flesh punctuated by a nearly black gel. 

Each tomato typically weighs 150-300 g (5-10 oz)—some sources report up to 400 g in ideal conditions.  The taste? Deep, hearty, and perfectly balanced: juicy yet firm, rich yet lively, and with that full-bodied “old-world” tomato flavor that heritage gardeners crave. 

Highlights for your garden or display:

• Growth habit: Indeterminate, regular leaf, vigorous and sprawling—stake or cage strongly.  
• Seasonality: Late-mid season maturity in many climates; allow full ripening to savor the depth of flavor.  
• Origin: Native to La Mancha, Spain—a variety with strong regional roots and true heirloom standing.  

For the Secret Seed Cartel customer who treasures bold color, robust flavor and true heritage value, Negrillo de Almoguera is a standout pick. Bring Spanish garden tradition into your Florida-grown beds, and get ready for compliments and curiosity from fellow tomato lovers.

Whether served fresh in thick slices, grilled for a smoky summer flavor, or showcased at market where its dramatic hue will turn heads—this variety delivers both beauty and substance.
