Description

A traditional Italian onion with a flat oval shape that ranges in size from 1 to 3 inches in diameter. As a member of the shallot family of plants, Cipolline onions are a dry onion harvested when they are mature, providing a flesh that is firm and juicy, with a delicately sweet flavor. This onion is used to season a wide variety of dishes such as meats (pot roasts), soups, stews, vegetable dishes, and casseroles. Also used as a pickling onion, Cipolline onions can be added to meats and other vegetables to grill on skewers.
