Lampascioni – wild onions

Lampascioni in Oil – Hand-Picked, with an Authentic Flavour

A rare gift that nature reserves for only the most experienced and patient farmers.
Lampascioni are not cultivated: they grow wild, hidden underground, and finding them requires knowledge and experience.

Above ground, they can be recognised by their distinctive purple flowers, while the bulbs lie 5–10 cm below the surface. They are harvested exclusively by hand, using special small hoes that allow the bulbs to be extracted without damaging them. It is a slow and precise task, deeply rooted in farming tradition.

A wild and unmistakable flavour

Unlike common small onions, lampascioni retain all their rustic character: their flavour is intense, aromatic and pleasantly bitter, typical of wild-grown produce.

Step-by-step preparation

From harvesting to the jar, every stage requires time and patience:

• thorough washing
• cleaning by hand with a small knife
• blanching in water and vinegar
• a curing process lasting several days to soften their characteristic bitter note

Finally, they are preserved in oil to maintain their texture and aroma.

Ideal for aperitifs, appetisers and salads, or as a side dish with a distinctive character, they are the perfect choice for anyone looking for an authentic product, carefully prepared in harmony with nature’s rhythms.

If you love authentic, wild flavours that are deeply connected to the land, these lampascioni will soon become a staple in your pantry.

Vegetable-based preparation.
