Red onions in Tropea


Tropea is known for its red onions (Italian: "Cipolla Rossa di Tropea").

You will find them in various dishes, such as: salads, paninis, and, of course, pasta.

They taste slightly sweeter than the red onions that are found in American supermarkets. In our opinion, they are a cross between shallots and red onions.
