Onion of Zapponeta is a traditional agricultural food product of Apulia, cultivated mainly around the communes of Zapponeta and Margherita di Savoia. The size and shape may vary depending on the harvesting period, which lasts from April to May.
What makes this ivory-white onion so special are its sweet and delicate flavors combined with its juicy and crispy texture, which is why this tender vegetable is best enjoyed raw, although it is also great when baked or boiled.
