Tropea Onion, 2.4kg

Tropea Onions 2.4kg are 2.4kg of Tropea onions – the celebrated sweet red onions from Calabria, southern Italy, protected by IGP status. Tropea onions are among the most prized onions in the world. As a result, they have a sweet, mild flavour with almost no harshness or heat. In particular, they are sweet enough to eat raw, sliced thinly in a salad or on a bruschetta. Furthermore, at 2.4kg this is a generous quantity for cooking, storing and sharing.

About Tropea Onions 2.4kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Tropea Onions 2.4kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Tropea Onions 2.4kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Tropea Onions 2.4kg

To get the very best from Tropea Onions 2.4kg:

• Slice thinly raw and dress with olive oil, sea salt and fresh herbs for a classic Calabrian insalata di cipolla.
• Caramelise slowly in olive oil over a very low heat for 30 to 40 minutes until golden, sweet and melting.
• Furthermore, Tropea onions are outstanding in a focaccia topping, a pizza bianca or a tart filling.
• However, do not rush the caramelisation – the sweetness of Tropea onions develops fully only with slow, patient cooking.

Perfect Pairings

Tropea Onions 2.4kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good olive oil, sea salt and fresh oregano – the simplest Calabrian treatment
• Aged Pecorino, Nduja or strong southern Italian salumi as flavour partners
• A glass of Ciro Rosso, Primitivo or a robust southern Italian red
• Anchovies, capers and olives for a classic southern Italian flavour combination

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Tropea Onions 2.4kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
