Sweet Red Onions Of Tropea facts (.pdf) | recipes (.pdf)
Italy’s most prized onion was born along the stretch of coastline between Capo Vaticano and Vibo Valentia in the region of Calabria. The Tropea Sweet Red Onion is one of the sweetest red onions in the world and is the onion with the lowest lacrimal factor, the onion that does not make you cry. It has a slightly elongated shape and a deep red, wine color. The onion itself is not only famous in Italy, but is known all over Europe for its unusually sweet and mild flavor. During the harvesting season this is the most sought after onion in all of Europe. What makes the Tropea Red Onion so Sweet and unique: the sweetness can be summed up in 5 words: Location, Soil, Climate, Variety, and Cultural Techniques. Various countries have tried unsuccessfully to grow the Tropea Red. They have taken the seed and planted it in other areas or even countries. No one has been able to capture Tropea’s unique flavor. The reason is that the sweetness depends not only on the variety but on the above mentioned factors.
