Two Decades of World-Class Sweet Onions

...and it all began over a bowl of soup.

Two onion brokers were enjoying steaming bowls of Vidalia® onion soup one spring day, when one said to the other, "Why can't we have delicious sweet onions like these all year long?"

That casual comment started a three-year quest to find just the right seed variety and place to grow flavorful, super-sweet onions that Americans could enjoy all winter long.

The search paid off.

The perfect spot was found at the foothills of the Andes mountains in Chile, where the rich volcanic soil and ideal microclimate — warm days and cool nights — provide just the right conditions to produce a world-class sweet onion:

The OsoSweet.

So now, since 1989, when we pioneered the winter sweet onion category, we've been delivering the sweetest, mildest, best-tasting onions imaginable.

Season after season, OsoSweet has become the brand shoppers know and trust.
