Then we store them in a ventilated place, away from humidity, and we can keep them that way for several months, practically until the next harvest!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Our shallots are cultivated according to the specifications of <strong>Organic Agriculture<\/strong>. Softer than Roscoff onions, it is particularly appreciated raw in salads. As you can also see in the photo, the plants have grown well and are very green.
