Vegetable
Campari
A tier
Campari is a branded cocktail-size tomato—larger than a cherry, smaller than a salad round—bred for consistent sweetness, juicy snap, and greenhouse year-round supply. Sold often on the vine, it targets consumers who want reliable flavour without heirloom unpredictability. Colour is glossy red; texture holds for snacking and salads. Halve into antipasti, skewer with mozzarella, or roast briefly to concentrate. Campari’s selling point is consistency; use it when menu specs demand predictable Brix and appearance. Still best kept unrefrigerated until service.
