Spanish Medallion

Spanish Medallion onion is an early hybrid with a spicy flavor, developed by the Japanese company Sakata. This variety is characterized by rapid maturation — from emergence of seedlings to harvest takes only 80-90 days. Plants exhibit vigorous growth, low foliage, and medium-thick necks, which contribute to quick and high-quality field drying of bulbs. Bulbs have a round shape, medium diameter of 6 to 8 centimeters, and weight from 120 to 300 grams, with a glossy golden-yellow or bronze-brown outer scale. Spanish Medallion adapts well to various soil types and climatic conditions, including sharp fluctuations in humidity and abundant sunlight. The plant is resistant to major diseases and pests, and quickly recovers from environmental stress factors. High bulb density and a sturdy outer shell made of 3-4 dry scales allow for mechanized harvest and long-term storage — up to 3-4 months without loss of quality. This hybrid is valued for its excellent taste: inner onion scales are thick, crisp, and juicy, with a pleasant moderate spiciness. Spanish Medallion is ideal for early harvest and widely used in culinary applications due to its versatility and stable yield.
