Types of tomatoes
Isle of Wight Summer Tomato Selection
A seasonal pick of Isle of Wight varieties, grown exclusively for M&S, in a range of colours, textures and flavours. Use to make a vibrant tomato salad.
Pink Oishi Tomatoes
Grown exclusively for M&S on the Isle of Wight, they're delicate with distinctive umami flavours and extra large – try on toasted sourdough with anchovies.
Arlintia On The Vine Tomatoes
These succulent tomatoes ripen on the vine, developing a deep flavour and delicate texture. Use to make a zingy tomato salsa for tacos.
Capella Combo Vine Tomatoes
This mix of sweet and fragrant tomatoes adds a flavour burst to salads, or try them roasted in this colourful ravioli and tomato traybake.
Piccolo Vine Tomatoes
Each juicy tomato bursts with a naturally sweet and tart flavour, lending a vibrant freshness to pasta sauces or bruschetta.
Cherry Tomatoes
With a sweet flavour and juicy texture, cherry toms roast beautifully – try using to top this whipped burrata dip.
Sugardrop Tomatoes
Sun-ripened to naturally enhance their sweetness, Sugardrops pair well with salty cheeses, as in this savoury tomato and cheddar tart.
San Marzano Tomatoes
Bursting with freshness and sweet, tangy flavour, these rich cooking tomatoes make the best tomato pasta sauce.
Beef Tomatoes
These are grown longer for a larger size and a richer flavour, perfect in a classic Caprese salad.
Pomodolci Vine Tomatoes
Sun-ripened and bursting with sweetness – try with burrata in a simple tomato salad.
Santini Tomatoes
Plum-shaped mini tomatoes, great for tossing through pasta salad.
