Every week, we conduct baking tests in our company kitchen.

Our products are checked at various levels: cut, colour, smell, taste and appearance. We do this at the expiry date and when the expiry date has already passed.

In this way, we guarantee and monitor the quality of our peeled and sliced onions.

A pleasant task, because what is better than the smell of baked onions?

Last week the onions were sown on the field. To this end, we are increasingly working with local farmers, who we guide through the entire onion cultivation process. The purchase of locally grown onions contributes to the sustainability of our process.

Yesterday the onion sets were planted!

Unlike seed onions, these onion sets are already 1 year old. So they are on the field for a shorter time. They grow faster, can withstand lower temperatures and are less affected by diseases and insects.

These onions will be harvested at the beginning of July. When the foliage starts to fall, they are still growing strong. Once the foliage has fallen down, its time to harvest. We can expect 50 to 60000 kg onions per hectare.

The onions then have to dry, after which they are ready to be peeled and processed in our company. Just in time, because the storage onions are usually out of stock at the end of June.

Maybe something to try in your own vegetable garden?
