Onion from Certaldo

CIPOLLA DI CERTALDO

The Certaldo Onion

 

The Certaldo onion is a local variety with a sweet and distinct flavour. It is round with flattened extremities, a purple-red colour with pale layers inside.

There are two versions, the statina which can be eaten raw in May and which is fully grown in the summer, and the vernina, which is sown in the autumn and harvested at the end of the following summer.

This onion is an element in the city’s identity, a symbol and banner of an ancient peasant civilisation.
