Balsamic Borettane Onions 1.9kg

Balsamic Borettane Onions

Balsamic Borettane Onions 1.9kg are small, sweet Italian-style onions that have been gently pickled in balsamic vinegar for a rich, tangy finish. They have a pleasing bite without being sharp, with a mild sweetness that balances the deep, rounded flavour of the balsamic. Ready to use, they are a brilliant shortcut for adding contrast and character to everyday meals. Spoon them alongside cold meats and cheeses, chop them through salads for a proper deli feel, or warm them through pan juices to give steaks, sausages, and roasted vegetables a glossy, savoury edge. If you are looking for balsamic pickled onions that taste like something you would order on an antipasti board, these are an easy win.

Why are Borettane onions so popular in Italian cooking?

Borettane onions are valued for their small size, gentle flavour, and natural sweetness, which makes them ideal for pickling and serving as antipasti without overpowering other ingredients.

What is the difference between balsamic onions and pickled onions in vinegar?

Balsamic onions tend to taste rounder and less sharp because balsamic vinegar has a deeper sweetness and complexity than standard spirit vinegar, giving a more mellow, restaurant-style finish.

How do you serve balsamic Borettane onions on a cheese board?

Drain them well and pile them into a small dish, then pair with hard cheeses like Parmesan or aged cheddar, soft cheeses like brie, and cured meats, as the sweet tang cuts through richness nicely.

Ingredients:

Onions 70%, balsamic vinegar from Modena IGP 9% (wine vinegar, concentrated grape must, colour caramel E150d), sunflower oil, water, sugar, salt, bay leaves, citric acid.
