Agnoni Balsamic Onions are traditional Italian cipolle borettane, small flat-shaped onions that are slowly cooked and preserved in balsamic vinegar. Borettane onions are a specialty of Northern Italy and are known for their naturally mild flavor and tender texture.
During preparation, the onions are gently baked in balsamic vinegar, which softens their natural sharpness and removes their bitter edge. The balsamic vinegar caramelizes slightly during cooking, giving the onions a rich, sweet and tangy flavor with deep, savory notes.
The result is a perfectly balanced product where the sweetness of the onions and the acidity of the balsamic vinegar complement each other, creating a classic Italian antipasto item.
