The Coppery Onion of Montoro
It is so named for the bright coppery sheens of its outer skins, its shape ranging from globular to flat, and its distinctive internal cataphylls, which are tightly packed white with longitudinal purple hues.
It is sweet and fragrant, releasing an intense and characteristic aroma with a delicate and persistent flavor with an unmistakable taste that makes it appreciated both raw and in a wide variety of culinary creations.
It excels in slow-cooked dishes thanks to its tough and particularly resistant fiber, which preserves all its fragrance.
