Seasonality:
The Brittany pink onion, like the Roscoff onion PDO, is characterised by the pink colour of its skin and flesh. It has a mild, sweet and fruity flavour.
This onion has a firm, shiny appearance. Under the pink outer skin of several layers lies the bulb which has cylindrical fleshy leaves.
This onion can be eaten raw in salads, cooked in soups, fried, or caramelised to garnish a dish. Like the Roscoff onion PDO, it cooks quickly and therefore better retains its nutritional properties.
Cultivating the Brittany pink onion
This variety of onion is sown mechanically at the end of winter. It is harvested by hand in August and then left to dry in the field. It is then stored in pallet boxes (in bulk) in ventilated or cold rooms. This variety is marketed until April/May of the following year. It is therefore available nine months of the year.

The producers are located in North Finistère and in Côtes d’Armor. They are members of the SICA and Les Maraîchers d’Armor agricultural cooperatives. The two onion varieties, Roscoff PDO and Brittany Pink, are cultivated by 98 Prince de Bretagne producers.
