Carentan Leek
Carentan Leek is a prized European heirloom with thick, 2-inch wide stalks and a mild, sweet, refined onion flavor that makes it a favorite among allotment growers across the continent — and increasingly hard to find in commerce. Exceptionally cold-hardy, it tolerates harsh winters that would destroy most leek varieties, providing a steady supply of flavorful stalks for soups, gratins, braised dishes, and vichyssoise well into the coldest months. A heritage variety worth preserving and growing.
