The Walla Walla was developed by a Italian American who developed it for the early maturation of the crop (weeks before other onions in the season). It was soon known for not only being early, but also being sweet enough to eat like an apple!
This tradition continues with four generations of this same family dedicated to growing the same wonderful crop of onions year after year.

This onion is fast on it's way to bring a bloomin' onion for a wonderful end of summer feast. :)
Here is a recipe for an onion flower and a bit of history of the onions from the farm:
