CEVENNE ONIONS PDO
Origin: France
Season: June - November
Onions come in various colours, sizes, and origins, with the Cevennes onions from France being a standout favourite at Rungis. Renowned for their exceptional sweetness, these onions are truly unique. The Cévennes region, located in southern France, is not only a stunning natural reserve but also the birthplace of the beloved Cevennes onion.
Grown at high altitudes among the mountains, these sweet onions thrive on terraces surrounded by stone walls. Due to the challenging terrain, all cultivation is done by hand, eliminating mechanisation. The optimal climate and rich soil in this area contribute to the creation of these delectable sweet onions, often regarded as the crème de la crème. Exclusively grown in this region, Cevennes onions hold a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
Unlike typical onions, Cevennes onions are significantly sweeter and lack the irritating compounds that usually cause tearing during preparation. With Cevennes onions, say goodbye to crying while cutting! In addition to their exquisite sweetness, these onions have a crisp, apple-like texture, and a firm structure and are delightfully juicy. Their subtle aroma makes them perfect for raw dishes, while they also elevate hot preparations with their distinctive flavour.
Net: 1kg (5-6 Onions)
Storage: Cevenne Onions maintain their freshness and quality when refrigerated.
