CURIOSITIES.

Among the oldest fairs in Italy is the Saints Peter and Paul Fair in Isernia, also known as the "onion fair" (every year from

June 28 to 30) as the onion is the main protagonist.

There are three varieties of onions: red, white and majorina (harvested in May).

By looking at old photographs of this fair and listening to information handed down to us by elderly Isernia growers, we learned

that the authentic and traditional native onion is the white one, flattened in shape, often large or even very large in size

(with the weight exceeding 800 grams in some cases).

The production territory of the onion white is mainly the municipality of Isernia in Molise.

The processing of onions into Onion Compote with Isernia apple also takes place in Molise.

TO KNOW.

Onions are composed of 90 i water, 1 i protein, very little fat and a few major mineral elements such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus.

In recent years, the Isernia onion has been increasingly put on the margins of the territorial context, threatening to disappear.

Thanks to the valuable work of "custodian farmers" who have continued to perpetuate this ancient cultivation there is finally a

generational turnover.

The activities of the "White Onion of Isernia" association and the "L.A.I Cooperative" are channeled in this groove: to promote again the

culture of custodianship of the Isernia bulb by incentivizing new young and old to the cultivation of the product in question, seeking

to create virtuous paths aimed at establishing entrepreneurial agricultural activities.

By purchasing one of the following Isernia white onion products, you will give the opportunity to continue the cultivation and dissemination

of the Isernia bulb, as well as enable the continuation of the activities of the differently abled children of the L.A.I. Cooperative.
