Cebolla Fuentes de Ebro
Sweet, tender, crunchy onion with a mild flavour, juicy and easy to digest, with no or very little aftertaste, making it ideal for eating fresh, uncooked. The star ingredient of the traditional Aragonese salad.
Geographic area
The growing area is located in the central Ebro valley, on the banks of the Ginel and Ebro rivers. This area is characterised by a steppe microclimate, with extreme aridity, wind and low rainfall, with soils high in gypsum and calcium carbonate. All this contributes to specific fertility qualities that make this onion less pungent, its distinguishing feature.
