Golden Shallots

Golden shallots are a favourite among chefs and food lovers for their mild, sweet flavour and versatility in the kitchen. Slightly more elongated than red shallots, golden shallots have a smooth, coppery-gold skin and a fine, delicate structure that sets them apart from the common onion.

At Menlo Fields, we specialise in growing premium golden shallots in Tasmania, where the cool climate and long growing season allow them to develop slow, even flavour without becoming harsh or overpowering. Grown in rich red basalt soils and harvested at peak maturity, our golden shallots offer a sweet, mellow flavour with just a touch of sharpness — enough to brighten a dish without the heat or bite of a regular onion.

Golden shallots are used in a wide range of cuisines, from French sauces and vinaigrettes to Southeast Asian stir-fries, roasted dishes, and delicate garnishes. Whether raw, caramelised, roasted or pickled, they hold their shape and flavour beautifully.

Menlo Fields golden shallots are grown, graded, and packed by hand to ensure consistent size and quality, and supplied to wholesale markets, retailers, and professional kitchens across Australia. Available in a range of sizes and packed in 5kg cartons or alternate packaging on request, our shallots are delivered with care and attention from paddock to plate.

If you’re looking for Tasmanian-grown golden shallots that are reliable, full of flavour, and professionally handled — you’re in the right place.
