Onion Bulb ‘Cipollini – Flat of Italy’ (Allium cepa) is a traditional Italian heirloom known for its small, flattened bulbs and naturally sweet, mild flavor. When roasted or caramelized, the onions develop a rich, buttery sweetness that makes them ideal for gourmet dishes and grilling. Easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil, this productive variety stores well after curing and is a favorite for specialty kitchen gardens.
