DISCOVER RECIPE
Place the onions in a bowl, cover with salt, and leave for at least 24 hours.
Meanwhile, put the malt vinegar, cinnamon and pickling spices into a large pan. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat, cover and set aside for 12 hours.
After 12 hours, remove the cinnamon stick, and stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey, If you don’t like your pickles too fiery, strain the spices out of the vinegar mix.
Rinse the salt off the onions and place them into sterilised jars.
Cover them with vinegar mix and tightly secure the lids. Store for least two weeks (at room temperature) before using.

For over three generations our family has dedicated itself to the production of vinegar with passion and knowledge, in the tireless search for the best possible quality product. A story which began more than 120 years ago, when Armando De Nigris opened the first vinegar mill in Naples, immediately proving to be a great success with his clients.
For over three generations our family has dedicated itself to the production of vinegar with passion and knowledge, in the tireless search for the best possible quality product.
Producing artisan quality balsamic vinegar, on such a grand scale, is only possible by paying the utmost attention to every stage of the production process. This is a source of great pride to De Nigris, because we directly control everything that goes into making our famous Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: from grape to bottle. We carefully grow and select various varieties of grape, which we then press and process in our traditional vinegar mills.
