Zerli’s Red Onion
Cultivated for centuries in Zerli, for its strong resistance to drought, the fundamental characteristic of this onion is its slightly flattened round shape. The cultivation of this vegetable requires a lot of patience: a year passes from sowing to harvest!
Sowing takes place during winter months, in order to obtain small onions, excellent for seasoning salads, in spring. A part of the vegetables is not harvested, in order to obtain most suitable bulbs in the summer period, suitable to be cooked.
Given the sweet taste, this onion is excellent for the preparation of salads, fillings, omelets, sauces and even jams.
