Consorzio Cipolla di Certaldo

The consortium of the Cipolla di Certaldo has a very recent history, in fact, it was founded in 2013, by just 5 farms, to protect the very famous and delicious onion of Certaldo.

Unlike the consortium, the certaldo onion has very ancient origins, it was in fact already mentioned by Boccaccio in the famous Decameron for its taste and extraordinary characteristics.

The producers’ consortium acts as guarantor and guardian for the preservation and continuation of this excellence, also acting as custodian of the onion seeds (in the two varieties Vernina and Statina) and are also registered with the region as such.
