Cornabel

French Breeding: The Standard of Excellence

The «Cornabel» tomato, developed by the renowned house of Vilmorin-Mikado, represents the pinnacle of professional hybrid selection. Known for its distinct pepper-shaped silhouette, this indeterminate variety has established itself as an industry leader, consistently delivering high yields and unmatched reliability for commercial growers globally.

Resilience and Genetic Defense

One of the primary drivers behind the success of Cornabel is its formidable resistance profile. Engineered to combat common field threats, the hybrid shows robust resistance to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt, as well as Leaf Mold (Cladosporium). Furthermore, it provides strong defense against viral diseases, including Tobacco Mosaic Virus. With a maturity window of 90–100 days, it allows for a predictable and productive harvest cycle.

Fruit Quality and Market Demand

Cornabel fruits are easily distinguished by their elongated, elegant shape. Featuring a two-to-three chamber structure and a dry matter content of 4.00–4.50%, these tomatoes possess a firm, dense texture that is highly valued in the fresh market. Their striking red color and balanced flavor profile make them a top-tier choice for fresh-cut retail and culinary applications requiring aesthetic consistency.
