Salad (or round): this is the traditional British tomato – it’s a good all rounder, but really needs to be ripe to get the best flavour.
Chilling tomatoes mutes their flavour so, unless they are very ripe, they should be stored at room temperature. If you won’t be eating ripe tomatoes for a couple of days, put them in the fridge in a perforated bag, but take them out of the fridge for about 30 minutes before eating, so that they can warm up.
