Tlacolula de Matamoros is likely where the name of this tomato came from and is a city situated in the state of Oaxaca. Tlacolula, as one might expect, is a Nauhatl word. The exact translation doesnโt seem to be too clear, but it is usually attributed to meaning โplace of many sticksโ or โtwisted thingโ. The latter could very well apply to this tomato.
While this tomato isnโt literally twisted, it is of a characteristic heavily ribbed/pleated shape that quite a few tomatoes possess that come from in and around this region of Mexico. When I see a heavily pleated tomato, I must have it. Iโm a sucker for the pleats. And when I learn a tomato is traced back to these areas of Central America? Thatโs the clincher.
The Look
As previously mentioned, this is one of those lovely awe-inspiring heavily pleated/ruffled tomatoes. My mom characterizes these as โlooking like peppersโ. This one reminded me quite a bit of โZapotec Pink Pleatedโ, except it was more red then pink. The fruit was smaller than the Zapotec tomato as well, getting about 3-4โณ in diameter and weighing in at about 8-10oz each (as opposed to Zapotecโs 4-6โณ in diameter and 1-1.5lb weights). They are another hollow tomato, but once again, not quite as hollow I found as Zapotec Pink Pleated.
The Taste
This is a good fresh eating tomato. Despite its red flavour, itโs low in acidity, so itโs good for people with stomach problems who donโt want to limit themselves to whites, yellows, and orange tomatoes. Itโs great for stuffing and then baking, although because of itโs mild flavour after itโs baked you donโt get a ton of tomatoeyness to go with whatever youโre cooking.
Slightly hollow, firm flesh with moderate juice. Good taste!
