Preparation & storage
Storage
Store vine cocktail tomatoes between 15 and 18 °C. At this temperature, the vine cocktail tomato does not let go of the vine prematurely. The vine cocktail tomato will keep for a week.
Do not store vine cocktail tomatoes in the fridge! This does not benefit the flavour and aroma.
You can store vine cocktail tomatoes that have been blanched for about 1 minute in a tightly sealed plastic container in the freezer for up to 12 months, at a minimum of -18 °C. But fresh they are best!
How do I know if a truss cocktail tomato is no longer good? The tomatoes are mouldy, have a sour smell or are limp. You can quickly recognise this decay by looking, smelling or tasting.
Prepare
You can eat the vine cocktail tomato on the spot, in slices on a sandwich or in a salad. It's up to you!
