Azienda Agricola Santacroce Giuseppe

In Curinga, a hillside village in Catanzaro overlooking the Ionian Sea, Azienda Agricola Santacroce Giuseppe cultivates Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, a single indication with an unmistakable profile. The loose soils and Tyrrhenian winds that sweep through the protected area—twenty-three municipalities distributed between the two coasts—shape the vegetable's sweetness and its thin, almost transparent layers. The harvest translates into three distinct forms of the same onion: the cipollotto (spring onion) harvested unripe, fresh bunches tied for immediate consumption, and the storage onion, destined to last beyond the season. It's a short supply chain, starting from the field and reaching the regional table without superfluous steps, where each format corresponds to a precise culinary use. Specialization in a single product speaks of a strong bond with a territory that has made this red vegetable one of its most emblematic expressions.
