Leonardi Baby Onions Infused in Balsamic – 300g

Sweet. Tangy. Effortlessly elegant — the finishing touch that makes dishes feel complete.

These beautiful baby onions are slowly infused in traditional Modenese Balsamic Vinegar, creating a perfect balance of sweetness, gentle acidity, and deep caramelised flavour. Tender and glossy, they bring instant sophistication to everything from cheese boards to roasted meats.

Crafted by Leonardi in Modena, Italy — one of the world’s great balsamic regions — they reflect generations of traditional preserving expertise.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because they solve the “what’s missing?” moment. When a dish needs contrast, brightness, or a touch of sweetness, these onions deliver instantly — no prep required. They’re especially useful when entertaining, adding flavour and visual appeal straight from the jar.

Chef Ian’s best ways to use them

• Cheese boards: perfect alongside soft cheeses, aged cheddar, or washed rind
• Roast meats: beautiful with beef, lamb, pork, or chicken
• Salads: toss through grain salads or leafy greens for contrast
• Gourmet sandwiches: adds depth to steak, chicken, or vegetable sandwiches
• Pizza or savoury tarts: scatter over before serving
• Roasted vegetables: toss through warm vegetables at the finish
• Entertaining shortcut: instant antipasto upgrade

Chef’s tip

Slice one or two onions and spoon over rested steak or roasted vegetables — the balsamic glaze becomes part of the sauce.
