Giarratana Onion Water joins the Eau de Pick&Eat line, a project that showcases Sicily’s rarest vegetal essences.
Artisanally extracted from onions of the Slow Food Presidium, it’s an aromatic concentrate that elevates dishes and cocktails with a sweet, refined note.
The Giarratana Onion is one of the most identity-defining products of southeastern Sicily. Grown in a hilly microclimate with wide temperature swings, it has a natural sweetness that makes it impossible to replicate elsewhere. Its large size and tender texture have made it a delicacy appreciated for generations.
With the manual extraction of the essence, PachinEat set out to capture the freshness of this rare vegetable, bringing it to kitchens and cocktail bars all year round.
Giarratana Onion Water lends an elegant, lingering aromatic note, without the weight of traditional onion. It is ideal for:

The extraction of the onion essence takes place through a non-invasive process: no mechanical pressing, no cooking, no additives—only patience and care. The juice is filtered several times and left to rest so that it can develop its finest aromatic notes to the fullest. The result is a transparent liquid full of character that captures all the taste of the onion without its visual or textural impact.
