Default Wanted - Raff Tomato seed

I'd like to try a few Raff Tomatoes (Spain) here this season and wondered if anyone has any seed they'd like to swap.

Anyone??

I haven't come across this variety here. (Mind you, there's probably loads I haven't heard of!). Good luck with your search.

I have not heard of that variety either, what sort of flavour are they?

I haven't tried them myself, but I know of someone who ate them while visiting in Spain who liked them very much. You can get snippets from Google on them, like this Softguide Madrid : Blog » Gran Via or maybe this Glossary Term - Tomato

Sorry that it is to late for the seed, but for those who dont know the Raff tomato....you are missing out....they are the best that I have ever tried.....thin skined, good for slicing, good for stuffing, and flavor superb

Think you might have to go to Spain and get some seeds out of a tomato there

Was in Spain a few weeks ago and looked for this seed to no avail

Got another trip next month so will have another look.

Will let you know if I'm successful. failing that, I've just been reading about this variety on the Waitrose supermarket web site. It's a winter variety, November - March, if they stock them this year it should be possible to collect the seed from one
