Interesting facts

Shallots originate from Asia, where they are also widely used. In Europe, they are a favorite of French chefs - it is no coincidence that Gordon Ramsey, a fan of French cuisine, adds them to all his recipes.

Use

Their flavor is closer to that of red onions, but milder and more refined, and their aroma is also milder, which makes them excellent for salads and pickles. Professionals wrap them in gauze and dip them in cold water, which enhances their flavor and texture.

Storage

Store in a dry, cool place between 0-4 °C.
