Roscoff Onions, 1kg

Product Information

Brittany Ferries operate ferry services from Roscoff to Plymouth daily from February to November with occasional Christmas sailings, to Cork twice a week (Friday and Tuesday service). Close proximity to the sea and the mild oceanic temperate climate of the northern Finistère coast provide the best conditions for growing this particular onion. Don’t split up multi-seeded modules into individual plants – just plant them as they are, to form a clump of onion bulbs. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included. At Brocéliande you can step into a land of legend and share exciting adventures as you travel through its majestic forest.

Top chef-quality fruit and veg wholesaler Natoora is always on the hunt for la crème de la crème, working closely with small growers to support sustainable agriculture.

The job is super rewarding and I am proud to say we have become the leading light in sous-vide education in the UK . Sow two seeds per module for the first option, five or six per module for the second, then thin out the seedlings if necessary to the required number. Harden off indoor-sown plants in spring, before planting into the ground, and prepare the site as described above. Onions have a limited root system, so improving the soil with lots of organic matter before planting is invaluable – dig in a bucket of garden compost or well-rotted manure per square metre/yard. Ripen the bulbs in full sun outdoors for about two weeks, or in a greenhouse or well-ventilated shed if the weather is wet.They work amazingly in any recipe where the too-often-overlooked onion is the star of the show, like the French traditional onion soup or onion tart. Since the early 1970s Roscoff has been developed as a ferry port for the transport of Breton agricultural produce and for motor tourism.

But I have to say I was itching to work only in the kitchen but it was a good insight into the catering world .
