Red Shallots

Bold in colour and flavour, red shallots bring depth and richness to everything from fine dining dishes to everyday favourites. With their deep purple-red skin and tight, slightly rounded shape, red shallots are prized by chefs for their ability to add complexity without overpowering a dish.

At Menlo Fields, we grow premium Tasmanian red shallots, carefully cultivated in the cool climate of North East Tasmania. The long growing season and clean environment help produce shallots with a firm texture, concentrated flavour, and excellent shelf life. These are not your average alliums — they’re grown slowly, handled with care, and packed for quality and consistency.

Red shallots have a more assertive flavour than golden shallots — slightly sharper raw, but mellowing beautifully when cooked. They’re ideal for roasting, slow cooking, pickling, or building layers of flavour in broths, braises, and sauces. Their natural sugars allow them to caramelise beautifully, bringing richness and depth to any dish.

Our red shallots are graded and packed to suit the wholesale trade, with consistent sizing and typically dispatched in 5kg cartons.

Whether you’re supplying chefs, stocking a boutique grocer, or building your foodservice offering, Menlo Fields red shallots deliver on flavour, colour, and performance — every time.
