Like garlic, shallots are formed in clusters of offsets with a head composed of multiple cloves. Their skin color can vary from golden brown to gray to rose red, and their off-white flesh is usually tinged with green or magenta. Shallots are much favored by chefs because of their firm texture and sweet, aromatic, yet pungent, flavor.

These delicious shallots are grown in Blenhiem and are fabulous in all sorts of savory dishes such as tarts, stir fries and casseroles.
