Italian Long Keeper is a storage onion variety with deep roots in Italian onion-traditions, believed to share lineage with Oro d’Parma, a sweet, globe-shaped storage onion from the Parma region. This onion has been selected for its golden skin, low pungency, and long shelf life — it stores well through the winter and retains sweet flavour deep into spring.
Sweet, mild taste—great raw in salads or cooked into sauces without harsh onion bite. Deep golden-brown skin, tight wrapping outer layers (skin that resists peeling/damage), and a globe shape.
Matures and is ready to harvest in its season, and then stores well (kept cool and dry) into spring. Excellent for households who want onions that last: keeps flavour, structure & sweetness during storage.
Needs full sun and fertile soil — rich in nutrients to support good size and skin strength. Make sure to give good spacing so bulbs can develop fully. Tight “necks” (narrow transition between bulb and shoots) help store quality
