Origin & Breeding History: 'Stenza' resulted from a controlled cross between two un-named proprietary seedlings at Enza Zaden Research and Development B.V. Enkhuizen in 2012. The selection criteria and objectives of the breeding program were to develop new tomato varieties that produce large uniform fruit with good colour and disease resistance.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Stenza' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number TMT3011, purchased from Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trials were conducted by Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2018.
