Our extra onion jam is produced from Sicilian onions cooked at low pressure and low temperature (around 60°C) to preserve the characteristics and natural aromas of the raw material. Glucose syrup, cane sugar and vinegar are added to the onions to obtain the typical sweet-sour flavour. The jam is ocher in colour, with light aromatic notes of onion and vinegar. The consistency is creamy and dense and the flavor well balanced. Onions make up 95% of the compote.

The onions we use for our Segreti di Sicilia jam are grown in Sicily. The variety chosen for this recipe has particular aromatic notes and an intense sweetness which allows for an excellent sweet and sour contrast. Onions are a typical food of our gastronomic tradition and are used in many recipes. They are also excellent health allies because they contain enzymes that help digestion and metabolism, useful trace elements such as iron, potassium, magnesium, fluorine and phosphorus and vitamins in abundance. Furthermore, they contain glucosinolates, substances responsible for the strong odor but also antimicrobial and protective for our body.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
