Santorini (tomato)

The Santorini is a cherry tomato native to Santorini, Greece.

History

An abbot from the monastery Kapoutsinon brought the first Santorini cherry tomatoes to Greece in 1818. The variety of tomato began to be regularly cultivated in 1875. By the 1900s, 20 000 acres of tomato were regularly being harvested in Santorini. Tomato production has declined since this time due to various environment, political, and tourism issues.[1][2]
