Fiamma

Red onion Fiamma F1 is a late hybrid salad-type red onion developed by the Italian seed company Cora Seeds. The vegetative period of this variety is 118-122 days from emergence, ensuring stable maturation and high productivity. The plant features a strong root system, substantial leaf mass, and good growth vigor, making it suitable for cultivation in open ground on various soil types and under different climatic conditions. The hybrid is resistant to diseases such as downy mildew and fusarium, further enhancing its reliability and yield quality.

Fiamma F1 bulbs have a round shape and exhibit high uniformity. Their outer scales are dense, thick, and robust, colored in a deep purplish-red, which effectively protects the core from damage. Inner scales are juicy, thick, and intensely red, giving the onion an attractive appearance and excellent taste. The flavor of the onion is semi-pungent with moderate sweetness, making it versatile for both fresh consumption and after thermal processing.

The Fiamma F1 hybrid is widely known and accounts for approximately 50% of the European red onion market due to its outstanding characteristics. It is suitable for mechanized harvesting and recommended for long-term storage, making it a profitable choice for commercial cultivation and marketing. Production of this variety takes place in Italy, guaranteeing high-quality seed material and compliance with European standards.
