Specialty Heirloom Onions
Borettana Cipollini
Borettana Cipollini
These pretty little Italian heirlooms have a flattened spherical shape and look just like rosy-bronze glossy buttons, each about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. They have firm, fine-grained flesh, well-developed flavor and satiny skins. Cippolinis are traditionally served whole, braised in a sweet and sour sauce or marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette.
You'll also find them delicious roasted whole in butter or olive oil, threaded on skewers for kebabs or used as pretty little boiling onions. When cooked, they really sweeten up and caramelize to a beautiful color. These intermediate/long day little onions will store well for about five months.

I purchased these starts approximately 2 weeks ago. I planted them within the next day. They are growing beautifully. I was shocked when I received these sets because they looked as if they had just been picked. This is my first time growing onions and this is my favorite type of onion. I absolutely love adding them to a pot roast. They become tender and sweet and impart a fantastic flavor to the meat. I have recently heard about using these sweet little onions to make individual "Bloomin onions". CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THAT. I was so impressed with the high quality of this product that I will definitely be purchasing more items from this company. Thank you , Barbara B.
