Conservor Shallots

English Shallot crop

We have 2 growers dedicated to us, based in eastern England, producing traditional round shallots and echalions, also known as Banana Shallots, here in the UK. This provides year round supply to supermarkets and caterers.

The shallots are planted at the end of the February in the UK and are harvested throughout July and August. After a period of 6-48 hours field drying, they are taken to temperature controlled stores, where they are dried further for about 4 weeks, producing the brown outer skins.

Shallots have a unique mild sweet flavour, making them popular with professional cooks, and are used in both Western and Eastern cuisine 

UK grown echalions, also known as ‘Banana Shallots’, are a versatile British vegetable and a cross between an onion and a shallot. Ease of preparation is driving demand from the catering sector across the country.
