Onions Festival in Giarratana

The Onions from Giarratana, a very ancient town in Ragusa Province, are very well known. They are fleshier and lighter, compared to the more common versions, and they are big and sometimes very big. They have a flat shape and they are incredibly tasty and sweet. In this Festival it is possible to taste several recipes made with onions, next to typical Sicilian cheeses and excellent wines.

A real competition to elect the biggest onion among the ones showed by farmers will take place during the event.
Several stands dedicated to hancrafted products, hobbies and creativity will be set up.

The Festival will officially start at 6 pm with the parade of the Association of 'Giarratana Drums' , the 'Flagwavers from Noto' and the Madrigale Association from Buccheri. Music and folklore will entertrain you during the evening.

If you love onions, you will certainly love the GOLDEN ONIONS CONFIT with orange blossom honey and nerello mascalese wine. It is ideal to enrich your apetisers and starters, or to close a meal, combined with cheese.
