Nero is a classic French heirloom shallot, prized for its delicate sweetness and versatility in the kitchen. With plump, copper-skinned bulbs that cure beautifully, Nero offers a refined flavor that’s milder than onions yet rich enough to elevate sauces, dressings, roasts, and sautés.

Gardeners love Nero for its reliability and excellent storage qualities—it keeps well for many months when properly cured, giving you a steady supply of gourmet flavor long after harvest. Plantable in both fall and spring, Nero adapts well to different climates, rewarding you with clusters of high-quality bulbs that chefs have cherished for generations.
