What are borettane onions

The borettane onion takes its name from Boretto, in Emilia-Romagna, and has been prized for centuries in Italian cuisine for its round, flattened shape and its delicate, sweet flavour. Unlike common onions, the borettane has a less pungent aftertaste and a compact texture that withstands cooking and marinating well. These characteristics make it ideal for preserving whole in a sweet-and-sour brine, retaining a pleasant crunch even after processing.

• Flat, regular shape, perfect to serve whole as a side or garnish.
• Sweet, tender flesh with a balanced, mild flavour.
• Italian tradition, a typical specialty of Emilian cuisine.

The role of Aceto Balsamico

Aceto Balsamico is the true protagonist of this preparation: it coats the onions with its sweet-and-sour, dark and deep aromatic profile, giving the product that characteristic balance between acidity and sweetness. Marinating in Aceto Balsamico enhances the natural sweetness of the borettane and gives it an intense amber colour and a lingering aroma. The result is a versatile condiment-side dish, with a bold yet harmonious taste, that elevates simple dishes into proposals of character.
