Parco Regionale della Vena del Gesso Romagnola

Romagna Shallot PGI is a characteristic and traditional vegetable of the area of Vena del Gesso Romagnola linked to the hot and dry climate of this section of the Apennines. Its distribution range includes all the Park Municipalities. The shallot is a relative of onion and garlic, but has very different organoleptic features. In particular, the Romagnola variety - very similar to the original wild species - has a smooth purplish bulb covered with a strong copper brown cuticle and a very intense taste, almost sharp and aromatic.
