Our Products
Baby Potatoes
Delicate baby potatoes have been popular in Europe for decades, and they were a favorite taste treat of our founders when they traveled to Holland to visit family and friends. So in 1993, we began perfecting the growing of these specialty potatoes using heirloom Dutch varieties that have the very best taste and cooking qualities. For more information and great recipes for the very popular Dutch Yellow® potatoes, please visit Melissa’s.
Shallots
Shallots grow in clusters, where a mother-bulb is surrounded by several separate bulbs. The shallot has a tapered shape and a fine-textured coppery skin, which clearly differentiates it from onions. Shallots were first introduced to Europeans during the 12th century. Crusaders brought them home as “valuable treasure” from the ancient Palestinian city of Ascalon. Try our recipes…
Pearl Onions
So what exactly is a pearl onion? Well, the first thing you’ll notice is their small, round size. Pearl onions range from ¾” to 1-1/4” in diameter. These specialty onions can be white, red or gold, and they are available year-round in most supermarkets. White tends to be the most popular, but you can also find all three colors mixed together in one package. This makes for a very colorful presentation at your next dinner party. Pearl onions are our most delicate onions, and they can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Check out our recipes page for great ideas on how to prepare these specialty onions.
Cipolline
The cipolline ‘Borettane’ is an Italian pearl onion known for its flat, saucer-like shape. Previously produced only in Italy, these unusual and elegant onions are now grown on our farms. Our cipolline range from 1” to 3” in diameter. Cipolline are available year-round in most supermarkets. Although the taste of a raw cipolline is a little strong, a cooked cipolline is mild and sweet.
