The 'Savignac' tomato was discovered by a Joliette-area grower called Dufresne in the 1930s.
Thanks to the work of Clerc Savignac, this round, smooth-skinned pink tomato is very well adapted to cool climates and short growing seasons. It has earned an excellent reputation for its exceptional flavour and good resistance to disease. Vigorous, indeterminate plants grow up to 2.5 m high and produce tomatoes measuring around 10 cm in diameter and weighing between 180 and 350 grams.
