Red Geneva Cipollini Onion

Allium cepa

Certified Organic

A glossy, flattened red Cipollini with excellent flavor and long storage potential.

The Red Geneva is a stunning Cipollini that brings deep color and excellent flavor to the kitchen. These onions produce handsome, glossy purple-red bulbs that are slightly flattened and typically range from 2.5 to 3.5 inches across. Although they take a little longer to mature than their yellow cousins (around 105 days), their rich flavor is well worth the wait, making them an excellent choice for both fresh eating and general cooking.

Its compact size and semi-flat shape make this onion perfect for roasting whole, where its sweet, mild flavor can caramelize beautifully. But the true practical advantage of the Red Geneva is its reliability in storage. It is known to keep for a significantly longer time than other Cipollini varieties, ensuring you have a steady supply of these savory, small bulbs well into the winter months.
