Few ingredients capture the essence of summer quite like a perfectly ripe tomato. But what exactly makes a July tomato taste so much better than the ones we enjoy during the rest of the year? We’re so glad you asked.

July is our favorite season to use tomatoes in dishes thanks to their vibrant color, sweet aroma, and juicy texture.
