Fellow food gardeners, gather ’round, because I’ve discovered a tomato that’s completely stolen the show in my garden. My taste buds have been doing everything from the salsa to the foxtrot—and I’m pretty sure they attempted the moonwalk after the first bite. Meet my latest garden obsession: the Sunchocola tomato.
Now, you may be thinking, “It’s a tomato. How exciting can it really be?” Fair question. But trust me, once you’ve tasted the perfect balance of rich, sweet flavor with just enough tang to keep things interesting, you’ll understand why I’m singing this little tomato’s praises. The Sunchocola isn’t just another cherry tomato—it’s the kind that has you sneaking “just one more” every time you walk through the garden. Before long, you’ll be wondering whether more tomatoes made it into your harvest basket or straight into your mouth.
Picture this: I’m standing in my garden one sunny afternoon, surrounded by a cornucopia of tomato varieties. I’ve got the classic Romas, the fruity Brandywines, and the playful Cherry Tomatoes, all vying for my attention. But then, I spot the Sunchocola, and something magical happens. It’s as if the heavens part, and a chorus of angels sings ‘Hallelujah’ as I reach out and pluck that first juicy orb.
Sunchocola tomatoes are like little bursts of sunshine that have taken on the guise of tomatoes. Their flavor is an exquisite fusion of sweet and tangy, like a salsa dancer gracefully moving across the taste buds. As I took that first bite, I swear I heard a faint “Olé!” in the background.
Now, you might think I’m exaggerating, but let me tell you, the Sunchocola tomato is not your average tomato. It’s the tomato that dreams are made of, and it’s not just good; it’s legendary. It’s the kind of tomato that could inspire a Shakespearean sonnet or a rock ballad.
First, let’s talk sauces. As a self-proclaimed sauce aficionado, I’ve dabbled in everything from marinara to pesto, but nothing, I repeat, nothing, compares to the sauce made from Sunchocola tomatoes. It’s like liquid gold, but more tomato-y. It’s so good that I’ve considered bottling it and starting my own sauce empire, with a Sunchocola tomato sauce theme park as the centerpiece. Who’s with me?
Salads? Oh, don’t even get me started! Sunchocola tomatoes are the prima donnas of salad ingredients. Their vibrant color adds a pop of pizzazz to any salad bowl, and their flavor elevates even the most mundane greens to culinary excellence. I’ve caught myself taking selfies with my salad because it looked that good. #SunchocolaSelfie, anyone?
And finally, eating them right off the vine is an experience that transcends mere food consumption. It’s like biting into pure happiness. I’ve had conversations with these tomatoes, whispered sweet nothings to them, and even considered setting up a tiny tomato stage for them to perform on.
The Sunchocola tomato is a tomato above all tomatoes. It’s a tomato that makes you want to sing, dance, and possibly propose marriage. It’s a tomato that has stolen my heart and refuses to give it back. So, if you haven’t tried a Sunchocola tomato yet, I implore you to embark on your own tomato tango and let your taste buds waltz into tomato ecstasy.
In the grand culinary telenovela of life, the Sunchocola tomato is the leading character, and I’m just here for the delicious ride. So, let’s raise our tomato-filled glasses and toast to the Sunchocola – the tomato that has redefined love at first bite!

Good day,
Having just planted a batch of SUNCHOCOLA tomato seeds I was absolutely delighted to read this FANTASTIC article by Don Nicholas……….and I thought I was passionate about my tomato patch.
What a beautifully written overview of the variety.
Thanks you very much Don from our beach home in the little port of Mossel Bay, on the South West Cape coast in South Africa.
