Cipolla di Giarratana

Listed as a traditional Italian food product, cipolla di Giarratana is a huge, very sweet variety of onion, grown only in the small Sicilian village of Giarratana, located in the Hyblaean Mountains. Ranging in size from 200 grams to 2 kg, they are often sold with a long stem, so they can be hanged when stored.

The paper-thin golden skins hide a juicy, white interior with a very delicate flavor. Due to their deliciousness, Giarratana onions are often eaten raw in salads, but they are also excellent when used as a filling for focaccia, simply grilled or baked with various condiments.
