Mevalco's new Calçots are in

Mevalco's new Calçots from Alt Camp (Tarragona) are in. Calçots are long, sweet onions and a symbol of Catalan culture. They’re the stars of calçotadas: lively gatherings throughout winter until Easter where family and friends come together to grill, peel, and dip them in romesco sauce. These events go beyond food; they’re a celebration of tradition and community.
PGI Calçots de Valls must measure:
• 15–25 cm of white stem
• 1.7–2.5 cm in diameter (5 cm from the root)
