Fresh local organic gold grape tomatoes, a small, oblong variety with thin golden-yellow skin and a sweeter, milder flavor than red grape tomatoes. Grape tomatoes get their name from their size and shape, closer to a grape than the round profile of a cherry tomato, and they were developed for a firmer bite and longer shelf life than standard cherry varieties. Gold and yellow tomato varieties generally carry less acidity than red ones, since they contain less of the pigment lycopene, which also contributes to tartness. That makes them well suited to eating raw, straight off the vine, tossed whole into salads, or roasted on a sheet pan until the skins split and the insides turn jammy. They also hold their shape well halved and added to pasta near the end of cooking. Pairs well with basil, mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic.
