Spring Onions
Spring onions are a daily-rotation product for wholesale markets and retail platforms, and Hortiberia handles them accordingly: bunched at origin, cooled quickly and shipped weekly, twelve months a year, from the group's growers in south-east Spain. They sit within the same leafy and stem vegetable range as celery and fennel, which allows mixed pallets of fresh produce from one origin.

Full product sheet
Year-round supply
Availability covers every month from January to December, with no seasonal break. Buyers can therefore include spring onions in continuous programmes rather than switching origin partway through the year, keeping the same specification and paperwork throughout.
Packing
- Bunches of 250 g, 20 bunches per box, giving 5 kg per box.
- Cardboard box, 40×30 footprint.
The bunch format suits direct sale on wholesale markets as well as repacking at destination for self-service shelves, while the 40×30 box fits standard pallet patterns alongside other produce of the same footprint.
Temperature and freshness
Spring onions lose firmness and colour quickly once they warm up. The recommended transport temperature is 3-4 °C, held from packing through to the customer's platform, and the same range with high relative humidity is advisable in the receiving cold store to extend the shelf life of the green leaf.
Traceability and compliance
Each lot is traceable to the plot where it was grown and ships with the documentation required under EU rules on maximum residue levels, plant protection products and labelling. The group's growers work under GLOBALG.A.P. and IFS, together with the equivalent standards demanded by European retail chains.
Operators needing a steady weekly supply of fresh spring onions can fix quantities and dispatch frequency with Hortiberia's commercial team in advance and adjust them as demand in each market develops.
