Southern Specialties introduces Southern Selects heirloom tomatoes
Southern Specialties Inc. has launched its Southern Selects Heirloom Tomatoes, a line of premium, greenhouse-grown heirlooms that celebrate the rich heritage of tomato farming. These authentic varieties — carefully passed down through generations — are grown specifically for flavor and texture, delivering a true farm-to-table experience for today’s discerning consumer.
The new offering includes both large heirloom tomatoes and baby heirloom varieties, each harvested with care to ensure consistent quality, vibrant colors and exceptional taste. Unlike commodity tomatoes bred for transport, Southern Selects heirlooms are cultivated for what truly matters — a rich, authentic eating experience.
Southern Selects heirloom tomatoes are greenhouse grown in Guatemala, a country often called the “land of eternal spring.” Nestled between volcanoes, the region offers fertile soil, abundant natural resources, and an ideal temperature environment — conditions that make it one of the best places in the world to grow flavorful produce. This unique setting allows for year-round production and the assurance that every tomato meets the highest standards of taste, freshness and quality.
Today’s consumers increasingly seek produce that delivers authentic flavor, heritage and a great story. By offering heirloom tomatoes grown in a region steeped in rich agricultural tradition, Southern Specialties connects the consumer not only to a product but also to a legacy of farming passed down through generations.
Southern Selects heirloom tomatoes provide retailers, chefs and foodservice operators with a premium product that enhances menus, adds vibrant color to displays and satisfies consumer demand for fresh, flavorful produce.
“Our Southern Selects Heirloom Tomatoes are grown with authenticity, tradition, and flavor at their core,” said Robert Colescott, president and CEO of Southern Specialties. “We’re proud to share these unique varieties with our customers and look forward to delivering the quality and taste that Southern Specialties is known for.”
