The
L'Orto Sotto Casa farm was founded in 2016, deciding to expand its land cultivated with vegetables to the current two hectares, where the seasons and natural rhythms are strictly followed – this is where the
Certaldo Onion Compote 90 g is born
Certaldo Onion Compote 90 g
Our company was born with the idea of showcasing the best products of our territory. We carry out our harvests every day. But not only that, we do it: early in the morning and in the early afternoon, so as to always offer the greatest
freshness.
The
Certaldo Onion compote – 210gr. Born from the desire to showcase a true
excellence of the territory. This onion has characteristics that make it unique. Enjoyed both fresh and as a compote. Thanks to its strong yet
sweet taste. Mentioned in the
Decameron by
Giovanni Boccaccio, who testifies to the fact that it was already cultivated and consumed. The onion figure then appears in the 12th century, in the ancient coat of arms of Certaldo. 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 those who rest and those who work", a testimony to the importance of this variety in the area. The compote is made with caramelized onion and
Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP. A true
specialty and delicacy that has also received the prestigious
The WineHunter Food Award 2023 recognition.
Pairing: Ideal with
aged cheeses and
crostini with Tuscan bread.
Enjoy it with: We recommend enjoying the product on unsalted bread crostini to pair with aged cheeses. With its
intense flavour and
natural sweetness, it is perfect paired with aged cheeses. This sauce is excellent on
canapés and crostini or as a filling for
focaccia.
