Tropea onions, native to the coastal region of Calabria in southern Italy, are renowned for their distinct sweetness and mildness. Their flavour is less intense than most other onions, making them perfect for both raw and cooked dishes. When bitten raw, these onions have a crisp texture with a gentle, sweet aftertaste, which mellows into a deep, caramelised sweetness when cooked. Their thin, red-purple skin is easy to peel, and the flesh inside is pink, tender and juicy. Tropea onions are vegetables that are cherished for their versatility in the kitchen and the ability to elevate simple dishes with their rich flavour.
