The virtues of onions have been well-known since antiquity, although their enticing and appetising flavour is absolutely modern.

Pickled shallots are everyone’s favourite, thanks to their simple flavour that pairs perfectly with salami and cheeses for an hors d’oeuvre or farmhouse-style aperitif. They have very few calories, zero fats hence they provide the utmost satisfaction with the lowest calorie demand: They can be eaten all the time, any time you crave a savoury titbit.
