Our shallots
Traditional Brittany shallots
> Crisp and crunchy
> Rich, floral and fragrant flavours
> Coppery pink skin

After planting by hand very early in the year, the shallot forms new bulbs : up to a dozen bulbs grow around the original one and continue increasing in size until July. This is known as vegetative reproduction. 80 % of the shallots grown in France come from North Finistère.
We sell a number of varieties of the traditional shallot : long (darker), semi-long and all grades.
