We are in Lucania.
Today I'll show you why we choose just this one.
The red onion of Basilicata is loved in Italy and is increasingly in demand abroad as well.
We choose it because today it is the best fresh onion on the market:
red and white at the same time, sweet, with that intense green leaf that tells all its freshness.
And then there is a sign that for us in the market is worth more than a thousand words.
The sound of freshness. (when you squeeze the leaves and hear that dry sound... you know it's the right one).
Raw, thinly sliced with oil and salt, it's already a perfect dish.
When cooked, it becomes sweet and deep.
And if you caramelize it slowly... it becomes the perfect accompaniment to gourmet meats or sandwiches.
There are many good products on the market. The difference is knowing how to choose.
And today, in its own right, the Perfect Fruit of the Day is the red onion from Basilicata.
