History of Raf Tomato (most expensive tomato in the world)
The true story of a single tomato.
The authentic Raf tomato was born in France in the early 60s in response to the demand of farmers at the time to get a tomato variety that was resistant to the “Fusarium” fungus. They quickly realized that this tomato had a difficult adaptation, until, and almost by chance, at the end of the 60s it reached AlmerĂa, where the special conditions of soil, water and climate of some areas made it the best tomato in the world .
