Product Description
*as seen on the Hairy Bikers 4/1/18* and Stanley Tucci 30/10/2022* This is probably the most famous onion in Italy. The area it comes from is perfect for onion cultivation, and it is said that Tropea onions are so mild that they can almost be eaten like apples! Their high sugar content means they caramelize nicely when cooked. They are not too overpowering when used raw and make a great addition to salads. Onions carrot and celery are known as the holy trinity of Italian cooking.
