Giarratana Onion
Our preserve is made from the Giarratana onion, the famous giant, ultra-sweet onion grown organically in the Iblean lands on the hills of Ragusa. It is prepared by hand in a sweet and sour style with our extra virgin olive oil, wine vinegar and a touch of sugar, through slow cooking that concentrates its natural sweetness without adding preservatives. The result is an amber-coloured preserve with a soft consistency and a perfect balance of sweet, acid and a delicate onion note. Ideal for pairing with aged cheeses such as Ragusano DOP, grilled meats, focaccia and charcuterie boards. The Giarratana onion, unlike common varieties, offers a unique sweetness and absence of pungency that make it suitable even for the most delicate palates.
