This Czechoslovakian heirloom tomato has a flavorful tart tomato taste. People who like tangy tomatoes will enjoy Stupice's flavor. Stupice inspires strong emotions in people. This is one variety that people seem to either love or hate with passion.
This rich flavorful tomato is great for making tomato juice, adding zing to a sandwich or topping a fresh salad. It is frequently used as a slicer tomato.

Stupice was developed in a state owned farm in a small Czechoslovakia village, Stupice. It was sent to the USA in 1976 by Milan Sodomka, the man who bred Stupice. In his 70's at the time, Sodomka frequently read Rodale's "The Organic Farming and Gardening" magazine. After reading an article titled "Special Seeds for Special Needs," he sent Rodale seven varieties of tomato seeds including Stupice.
