“Our journey to find a sweeter cherry tomato variety began in 2022, leading us to a dozen countries where we sampled fruit from a range of seed companies,” says Gilberto Rojas, NatureSweet’s Senior Manager of New Varieties. “This particular variety stands out for its aromatic richness and exceptional sweetness, scoring high on the Brix scale. Its superior flavor, disease resistance, and high yield truly make it a superstar in the world of tomatoes.”

Glorys® is ideal for grilling, sautéing, roasting, baking, and even snacking— much like NatureSweet’s popular Cherubs® grape tomatoes, which have long been the top choice for snacking and hold the number one spot as the best-selling brand. The new, sweeter Glorys® provides consumers with another healthy, delicious option, offering high levels of Vitamins A and C, with fewer than 50 calories per serving.

“This is one of the sweetest tomatoes our sensory panel has ever tested,” says Julieta Ramírez, NatureSweet’s Manager of Sensory Evaluation, who leads a department dedicated to identifying optimal varieties for all NatureSweet produce. “What’s even more exciting is that consumer testing confirmed this excellence, with Glorys® earning top scores in key categories, highlighting its broad appeal.”

Glorys® 10oz package can be found at supermarkets nationwide. The product features proprietary packaging made from 100% recycled PET.
