Firenze Long Red
A new one for you to try - large red shallots with a gentler flavour than normal onions.
An old heirloom from Florence in Italy, but grows well in the UK.
Zebrune Shallot - RARE, & REALLY GOOD
This has been a real winner these last few years, outperforming our other onions by a noticeable margin. And they have a really good flavour, too. If we had to chose just one onion to grow, this would be it.
This kind is popularised on TV cookery shows as a 'banana shallot' (because it is slightly curved). Excellent in salads or cooked. Unfortunately they do not make many seed, but we have still made up a packet that is pretty generous, while holding the price down as much as possible.
An easy, fine-flavoured, large, sweet & mild shallot. Sow in Spring, inside in heat if possible.
