Season calendar

The pear tomato in Tenerife has a long season due to the warm and temperate climate of the island:

Winter (December-February): Production is low due to cooler temperatures, but can still be grown in greenhouses.
Spring (March-May): The best season for outdoor cultivation begins, with ideal sun and temperature conditions.
Summer (June-August): Peak season for plum tomatoes, with rapid growth and abundant harvests thanks to heat and sunlight.
Fall (September-November): Temperatures are still optimal for cultivation, extending pear tomato production until late autumn.

Selection tips

When choosing plum tomatoes, look for deep red specimens with smooth skin without blemishes or wrinkles. They should feel firm but slightly pliable to the touch, a sign of optimal ripeness. Avoid tomatoes that are very soft or have visible cracks.

Conservation

To preserve plum tomatoes, keep them at room temperature if they are green to allow them to finish ripening. Once ripe, you can store them in the refrigerator to prolong their freshness, but take them out an hour before eating to restore their flavor and texture.

Don't store them in airtight plastic bags, as this will speed up their deterioration. If they are already very ripe, you can cook them and make sauces or preserves to extend their shelf life. To prevent them from getting bruised, store them in a single layer or in a breathable cloth bag.
