To ensure that the white onion retains all of its properties, it is crucial to follow certain storage and preservation criteria that ensure its durability and quality.

Ideal storage conditions:

• Ideal storage conditions: It should be kept in dry, ventilated spaces with controlled temperatures between 0 and 5°C for extended preservation. In warmer environments, its shelf life is considerably reduced.
• Ventilation and humidity control: It is essential to avoid moisture buildup to prevent sprouting and mold growth. It is recommended to store them on open shelves or in boxes with perforations to allow air circulation.
• Separation from other fresh products: White onions should not be stored alongside products that generate moisture, such as potatoes or other high-water-content vegetables, as this can accelerate their deterioration.

Preservation:

• Avoid unnecessary refrigeration: Unlike other varieties, white onions should not be refrigerated unless they are already cut or peeled. Cold storage is only recommended if long-term commercialization is planned.
• Do not expose to direct light: In points of sale, it is recommended to keep onions in a shaded, well-ventilated space, as direct exposure to light and heat can accelerate sprouting and product deterioration.
• Maintain good shelf rotation: To avoid losses due to spoilage, it is essential to periodically check the condition of the onions and remove those that begin to show signs of softening or sprouting.

• Import months: February, March, april and may.
• Months when is available: All year round.
• Harvest months in Spain: June, august and september.

Learn about our minimum purchase volume requirements for the supply of our white 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).
