The Jumbo Heirloom Tomato Candle
Meet the C.Me Large Heirloom Tomato candle - crafted from an actual Heirloom tomato to give it the most realistic of effects. Crafted using the C.ME unique wax blend and vibrant colours. Perfect for the dinner table, the fruit bowl or to be lit and enjoyed for any of your bougie rituals.
This candle was inspired by the Batala Tomato, the Greek tomato - an ancient gem. Sweet, full of flavour and will quite literally collapse under its own weight within a few days of being picked. There were no tomatoes in ancient Greece or even ancient Italy - they didn’t arrive in Europe until the 16th century, which seems outrageous! I have many memories of tomatoes and wanted the Heritage to be one of the core candles here at C.Me. From hot summer days in Cyprus, eating the sweetest tomatoes along with salty cheese. Then there is the memory of raiding my nanas greenhouse in England - still today, if I am sad, sick or craving health, I’ll turn to tomatoes. In their early foray in Europe they were sometimes called ‘Love Apples’ and were viewed as exotic and adventurous!

Discover The Orchard candle range
These are truly made from the heart. All candles made right here in NZ, in small batches using only the finest ethically sourced elements. Inspired by the Greek and English orchards that I grew up by. Whether you use these to delight on the dinner table, for your mindfulness practices (who doesn’t love a bougie wee candle for a meditation!) or for gifts for the ones you love. They are the perfect addition for any home and space.
All C.ME candles are created using ethically sourced materials that are safe and non-toxic. As they are hand poured, you’ll sometimes find minor irregularities, but I feel these add to the character of the candles!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Candles by Conscious Me are crafted with organic materials using artisanal hand-processes, so no two items are exactly the same. As natural materials, they can be expected to change over time and in exposure to the elements. To best preserve the beauty and longevity of any of these candles, special care is recommended to maintain their optimum condition. We can suggest the following special care instructions.
To ensure a clean and burn, ensure that there are no drafts in your room from open windows or doors. To avoid soot and smoke, trim candle wicks regularly to approximately 6mm.
Never leave lit scented candles unattended. Keep lit candle away from curtains, children and pets.
Always protect the surface on which your candle is to rest when lit with a candle tray.
Do not burn your candle all the way down, always leave at least 5mm of wax at the base.
