    This is the first year I've grown shallots and I am very pleased with the flavor. I cannot compare this variety to any other cultivars out there BUT it is the best tasting shallot I've ever eaten! Store-bought shallots don't even come close in flavor. Looks like I will be growing shallots from now on. I planted them along with my garlic last fall and they were ready to harvest at the same time as the garlic.
