The onion stood proudly on the white field of the shield with the motto "By nature I am strong and sweet still/ and I please both those who rest and those who work", a testament to the importance of this variety in the area. The compote is made with onion and with lardo aged in seawater from Sardinia. Pairing: Ideal for filling focaccia baked in wood-fired ovens. To accompany boiled potatoes or soups.
