Oaxacan Pink Mexican – A Flavour From the Mountains

This heirloom tomato hails from Oaxaca, Mexico, where traditional farmers have grown it for generations in rich mountain soils. Known for its large, pink beefsteak fruit, it combines sweetness and old-world depth with a delicate tang that keeps each bite bright.

Fruits often tip the scales at 400–600 grams, with smooth shoulders and a luscious, meaty interior that makes them perfect for slicing thick over sandwiches or layering into summer salads. The skin is tender, the colour a soft rose-pink, and the flavour… unforgettable.

Oaxacan Pink Mexican is also a reliable producer — thriving in warm climates, setting heavy crops, and rewarding growers with consistency as well as taste. In my own Hokianga garden, last year’s plants held strong even through drought conditions, thanks to heavy mulching, and still delivered generously.

A tomato of heritage and heart — grown for centuries, now proven in ours.
