Oignon de Roscoff is an onion of the Allium cepa family, with a round, elongated to flattened shape produced in the Finistére region in France. The onion is full of flavor, slightly sweet and has a melt-in-the-mouth quality.
The aromas are fruity, and the texture is juicy and crunchy while it is raw, and once it is cooked the texture becomes tender and the taste even sweeter. These onions are well known for their long shelf life and the high vitamin C content, and are so popular that they even have their own museum in Roscoff.
