The "Gold Standard" onion variety is a mid-late variety with a maturation period of about 120-130 days, which ensures a rich harvest of large round onions with juicy and crisp flesh. The bulbs have an ideal round shape and are covered with golden-yellow or golden-brown dry scales, while the core differs in pure white color and solid, excellent-tasting contents. The thin neck and high flesh density make this variety particularly attractive for various cooking methods, including raw consumption, steaming, frying, and canning.
The variety is characterized by a high content of dry matter, exceeding 12%, as well as a rich vitamin and mineral composition, including vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, and zinc. Thanks to these qualities, the onion is not only tasty but also beneficial for health. In addition, the variety is resistant to common diseases, such as pink rot and fusarium, which contributes to stable and high yields.
The "Gold Standard" onion is well stored for a long time, maintaining up to 85-95% of the harvest during storage up to five-seven months, which allows using it throughout the winter and spring. Thanks to low-clumpiness and semi-spicy taste, which causes less tears when cleaning and processing, this variety is convenient to use and popular among gardeners and chefs. The production of the variety is associated with Italy, which confirms its high quality and reliability.
