Tanimura & Antle Artisan Sweet Italian Red Onion Ready To Ship

TA Artisan Onion

The official onion season is under way, and the demand for the Tanimura & Antle Artisan Sweet Italian Red Onion has never been better, according to the company. It is the only year-round sweet red onion available in the industry and enjoyed for its mild, sweet flavor and versatility.

“Retailers recognize the niche that this onion fulfills in their onion category,” says Anthony Mazzuca, onion commodity manager with Tanimura & Antle. “Our strongest business growth continues to be on the retail side with both our consumer bags and loose PLU stickered onions.”

Tanimura & Antle recently started packing in Yuma, Ariz., and the Imperial Valley in California. The company says supplies are excellent and the San Joaquin crop just around the corner is looking great. Sizing in Yuma and the Imperial Valley is mostly Jumbo and Extra Jumbo, and quality is very strong, according to Mazzuca.

The Tanimura & Antle Artisan Sweet Italian Red Onion is a proprietary seed variety originally from Italy and a result of more than 20 years of experience growing and breeding. Onions are available in 2- 3- and 5-lb. consumer bags, 25-lb. and 50-lb. sacks and 40-lb. cartons.
