onion
caramelized
Caramelizing onions brings out their amazing natural flavor. They're terrific on sandwiches and pizzas, over pastas, in soups, on meat, fish, and egg dishes, or adorning appetizer platters.

sugar
We can caramelize any type of onion. Some just caramelize more quickly than others. It all depends on their sugar content. Standard yellow onions caramelize just fine--and actually contain more sugars than "sweet" onions, which only seem to taste sweeter because they have fewer sulfur compounds.
At Eurocebollas we have two ways of caramelizing onions.
We cook the onion as normally and add sugar to the onion. This is a cheaper way of doing it than the one above.
The onion will be sweet on the first bite, but you will notice the flavor of the onion on the following bites.
Normally the onion doesn´t become dark as the one with no sugar, but we can make it dark by adding food coloring.

With a bit of time and patience, caramelizing turns a tearjerker in our factory into a sweet temptation. Breaking down and browning the natural sugars in the onion, give it a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor that adds an extra dimension to everything from burgers to baked potatoes.
What we do is we cook the onion in 4000 kg cattles for 2 hours and in low heat to be able to get the onion caramelized and with a dark color.

We bet on the future
EUROCEBOLLAS has been committed to sustainability in its broadest meaning for years.
Onion field in Valencia.
At EUROCEBOLLAS we work every day to reduce our footprint with the ecosystem, for this we work with renewable energies, biomass, reinforcing our commitment to the environment.
The tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere are quantified by our environment department and we compensate them with plans to return to the planet what we pollute. This helps us reduce our "carbon footprint".
In 2020 we expanded the treatment plant, which allows us to purify more water, with better parameters and with the security of not saturating it. We pour our water into a public channel, this implies that our water department has exhaustive controls on it, in addition to the controls of public administrations. Our sewage sludge is non-hazardous waste and since it comes from onion, it is organic matter and as such we use it as fertilizer for the earth.
With the remains of the onion, we have been authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture since 2010 to transport and distribute plant by-product for animal feed, contributing to the food chain.
We recycle more than 61% of the waste we generate, working with authorized and certified companies, guaranteeing the correct end of our waste.
In addition, our environment department continues to work continuously to continue improving at a sustainable level all aspects that may harm our planet.
Euroonions is aware
Our entire team is aware of the importance of these good practices, which is why we renew both the ISO 14001 for environmental management and the ISO 50001 for energy management with the company AENOR every year.
