Crispino Tropea Red Onions are made with 60% Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria IGP, a distinctive red onion from Calabria in southern Italy, known for its naturally sweet, delicate flavour. Preserved in red wine vinegar with a little sugar and salt, they offer a balance of sweetness and tanginess that works particularly well with Italian antipasti.

These onions carry the Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) designation, recognising their connection to a defined growing area in Calabria. Prepared by Crispino in Calabria, they offer a convenient way to enjoy this regional speciality without having to prepare the onions from scratch.

Ready to serve, with no added preservatives or colourings, they are suitable for vegans and are gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Serve alongside mature cheeses, cured meats, olives and crusty bread as part of an Italian antipasti platter. Their sweet and tangy character makes them particularly good with Pecorino, aged Parmesan and rich cheeses.

They also work well in sandwiches, burgers and focaccia, or as a topping for bruschetta. Try adding them to salads, serving alongside grilled meats or pairing with burrata for a contrast of flavours.
