About This Product

Slow-cooked red onions enhanced with Negroamaro, Puglia’s signature red wine grape. This wine adds depth, richness and a gentle tannic edge, transforming simple onion preserve into something genuinely refined. A superb companion to strong cheeses, charcuterie, and robust meats, or simply spread on crostini. Sophisticated, balanced, and distinctly Puglian this is a Hyde Farm favourite.

Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Character: This is a “refined” preserve that balances the natural sweetness of slow-cooked red onions with the “gentle tannic edge” of Negroamaro wine. The result is a sophisticated sweet-tart profile that is far more complex than a standard onion marmalade.

Method: This condiment is ready to use straight from the jar. For the best flavour experience, serve at room temperature to allow the rich notes of the Puglian red wine to fully open up.

The Ultimate Cheese Companion: This is a “superb companion” for Strong Cheeses. Pair it with a mature Pecorino, a sharp Cheddar, or a creamy Gorgonzola. The acidity of the apple vinegar and the richness of the Negroamaro wine cut through the fat of the cheese perfectly.

Charcuterie & Pâté: Elevate a simple meat platter by serving a dollop alongside Salame Milano, Prosciutto di Parma, or a coarse country pâté. The onions provide a “distinctively Puglian” depth that complements cured meats.

Gourmet Burger or Steak Topper: Use these onions to finish a high-quality beef burger or a seared ribeye steak. Unlike raw onions, these are soft and “elegant,” adding a wine-infused glaze to the meat.

Crostini Appetiser: Spread a thick layer over toasted sourdough topped with a little goat’s cheese or whipped ricotta. It’s an effortless way to create a “sophisticated, balanced” starter for a dinner party.
