Lampascioni Wild Onions in Oil
“The wild onions of Salento, hand-cleaned one by one.”
Boiled in water and vinegar, hand-cleaned and preserved in oil with fresh mint, chili pepper and garlic: the traditional Salento recipe, ready to open.
Harvested by Salento farmersCleaned one by oneWith mint and chili
Lampascioni are the wild onions of Salento: bulbs that grow spontaneously 5-10 cm underground and, when in bloom, produce a small blue flower. They cannot be cultivated: their presence on our tables depends entirely on the harvest of Salento farmers, who find them with special tools. In the Salento dialect they are called “pampasciuni”: they have a distinctly bitter taste and a crunchy texture.
For this product we select the best lampascioni, clean and trim them one by one with a small knife — a long and meticulous job — then boil them in water and vinegar and let them dry well. Finally we preserve them in extra virgin olive oil, with the addition of fresh mint, chili pepper and garlic: the same recipe Salento families have always used.
How we make them
From the field to the jar
1
Hand harvested
Salento farmers gather the lampascioni with special tools and bring them to our company.
2
Cleaned one by one
We wash off the soil and trim them with a small knife: a long and meticulous job.
3
Boiled
We boil them in water and vinegar to reduce their bitterness.
4
Dried
We let them dry well before jarring.
5
Preserved in oil
We hand-pack them in extra virgin olive oil, with fresh mint, chili pepper and garlic.

How to enjoy them
🍞
With Salento frisa
The classic way: on a moistened frisa, on their own or with a drizzle of oil.
🥖
Bruschetta and mixed appetizers
On bruschetta, or alongside typical cured meats and preserves in oil.
🍖
With boiled meats
Their slightly bitter flavor pairs well with boiled meats.
🍳
Omelets and salads
In Salento they are also used in omelets and potato salads.
💡
Once the jar is open, keep the lampascioni always covered by the oil: this prevents mold and keeps them at their best. From February to April you can also find them fresh, for a limited time.
