I was at Costco SSF (Bay Area CA) and often buy cherry tomatoes (especially if “on the vine” and eat fresh or halve and slow roast in oven to use on sandwiches, etc.
Today I saw a new brand and they turned out to be the best yet!!
They also had gorgeous pistachio cookies but I didn’t buy because they were pricey, $15 for a small amount. Bet they’re great!
Where are the tomatoes from? Hothouse grown?
Hot House, USA. If you look at the package it says Leamington, Ontario Canada. Name means Scarlet Red in Japanese. Now I wish I’d bought fresh basil at TJ.
Thanks! I couldn’t magnify the label. They look beautiful.
Most of the grocery store tomatoes we get here in NW Rockies are from Canada and are hot house grown.
There’s no point in eating a tomato if there’s no flavor!
We have the Hiro’s in NY and they were intensely flavorful and fresh tasting the first time I tried.
We normally buy the campari tomatoes, 2 or 3 boxes at a time, and they are excellent for general use. I only bought a few farmers market tomatoes this summer because of the consistent excellence of the campari.
Farmers Market dry farmed tomatoes are now $6 lb, these are $8 for 1.5 lbs.
I’m just going to add to this as a general Costco thread instead of starting a new one for December 
I went looking for paté today, which they’ve had in the past but did not show on Instacart. Well, not in store either. Too bad.
If I wasn’t short on freezer space (and saving the last bit for pre-travel freezing) I would have stocked up on lamb chops (tbone) at 5.99/lb and lamb rack at 12.99. Dungeness crab, why didn’t I go sooner. When i come back, I said to myself.
I did, however, grab a wheel of 6.99 triple creme president brie (18 oz), one of the many charcuterie selections available at the moment – I chose the Spanish one (14oz for 9.99, with serrano ham, chorizo, and salchichón, not available on Instacart for some reason), a 3-pack of Boursin for 10.49 (vs 6.99 for 1 at Aldi next door or 4.50 at TJs where I normally pick it up), and Truffle Parmesan & Black Garlic seasoning for 6 on sale (that I think some folks in my family will happily empty over fries, pasta, eggs, potatoes, or a shoe).
