Pickling Onions
Perfect for a ploughman's
What could be more British? A ploughman's lunch, some crusty homemade bread and crisp, crunchy pickled onions. We supply excellent quality British pickling onions from October up until Christmas.
The crops are grown in Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, using specially selected varieties for that crisp texture and tangy flavour. For a real treat, pickle them in a tangy cider vinegar. Our pickling onions can be found in Waitrose when in season.
Seasonality
When it is at its best.
Harvested, cured, then held in controlled-atmosphere stores to protect quality through the season.
In the kitchen
How to use them
Pickle in malt or white vinegar with pickling spice, or scatter whole onions round your favourite Sunday roast.
At home
How to store them
The best way to store pickling onions is to pickle them. If you would rather keep them for stews or casseroles, remove them from any packaging, particularly plastic film, and store in a cool dry place.
