Shallots are useful for dishes where a milder, sweeter flavour is required and we’ve selected a collection with two top varieties:

• ‘Picasso’ – a top class shallot with rich red-brown skin and pink-tinged flesh.
• ‘Topper’ – mild, rich, golden bulbs which are equally good when raw or cooked.

The collection costs just £11.95 including p&p and you receive a 500g pack of each variety. Delivery from mid-January.
