a bunch of the red onion of Tropea that is the name given to the red onion (Allium cepa) grown along the Tyrrhenian belt between Briatico and Capo Vaticano near Tropea in the province of Vibo Valenzia. calabria region. It is composed of various fleshy concentric tunics of white complexion and with red covering; it has been cultivated in these areas for over two thousand years, imported by the Phoenicians, and for over a century, now combined with tourism, has contributed to the socio-economic development of the area. The sweetness of the vegetable seems to depend on the particularly stable microclimate in the winter period, without sudden changes in temperature due to the mildness exerted by the proximity of the sea, and the fresh and silty soils, which determine the valuable characteristics of the product. The shape is round or ovoid.
