Organic Cuisse du Poulet du Poitou Shallot
100 days to harvest
Allium cepa
Description
These long, tapered & exceptionally sweet shallots are prized in France as well as the home of Patrice Fortier, Quebecois farmer/seed saver/muse, who pressed these seeds into our hands with an electric enthusiasm in 2014. We’ve been saving them since, enraptured by their lovely length (they are such a pleasure to prepare in the kitchen) as well as their savory sweetness that deepens as they store, all winter long, in our cellar. We hope you enjoy Organic Cuisse du Poulet du Poitou Shallot as much as we do!
