Carolyn Male, author of 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden, says, "Matina is one of the few good early varieties that perform well and have a taste equivalent in strength and character to that of a beefsteak. The fruits are absolutely perfect -- small, globe-shaped, and produced in abundance."
Matina is often compared favorably with another early tomato, Stupice. It is shown here with Ildi.
