To ensure that the pearl onion retains all of its properties, it is crucial to follow specific storage and preservation guidelines that guarantee its durability and quality.

Ideal storage conditions:

• Dry and ventilated environment: It is recommended to store the onions in spaces with low humidity and good air circulation to prevent sprouting and premature deterioration.
• Recommended temperature: For optimal preservation, it is ideal to keep them between 0 and 5°C. However, for short periods, they can be stored at room temperature in dry conditions.

Preservation:

• Avoid stacking in large piles: Pearl onions are more delicate than other varieties, and when stored in large quantities without proper ventilation, pressure damage or moisture buildup in the lower layers can occur, reducing their shelf life.
• Separation from ethylene-producing products: Avoid storing pearl onions near fruits like apples or bananas, which emit ethylene gas that can accelerate their ripening and deterioration.
• Regular quality inspection: It is recommended to regularly check the exposed batches to remove any units showing signs of softness, mold, or sprouting. Frequent visual inspection helps maintain the quality of the available stock.

• Import months: January, february, march, april, may, june, july, september, october, november, and december.
• Months when is available: All year round.
• Harvest months in Spain: August and september.

Learn about our minimum purchase volume requirements for the supply of our pearl onion.

For bulk onions in sacks:

The minimum order will be one full pallet. Due to automatic palletizing, it is not possible to combine different sack references on the same pallet.

The only valid pallet will be the large pallet (100×120). Euro pallets (80×120) cannot be used as they are too unstable during transport.

For bulk onions in boxes, packed in nets and tubes:

The minimum order for boxes will be half a pallet. Two half pallets can be combined by stacking one on top of the other with an intermediate pallet, forming a single transport pallet.

We have two pallet sizes: the large pallet (100×120) and the euro size (80×120).
