Naturally caramelised onion
Caramelising onion is a natural process that happens when it’s cooked slowly over low heat, allowing its natural sugars to break down into complex compounds, giving it a sweet flavour and soft texture.
We prepare our caramelised onion the classic way, following these steps:
- First, we slice the onions into thin strips.
- Then, we heat a large pan over medium-low heat without any fat – we do this to avoid adding unnecessary fats to the product.
- We add a pinch of salt to the onions to help release their moisture and stir regularly to prevent burning.
The caramelisation process takes time, up to 60 minutes, as we cook them over very low heat without added oil or butter. As they cook, the onions release their juices, which slowly evaporate, allowing the natural sugars to caramelise. The result you’ll get is of a much higher quality than similar products on the market. The key is to keep the heat low and stir frequently to ensure even browning without burning – something many other brands don’t manage. Cooking on high heat dries out the pan too quickly and burns the caramelised bits at the bottom. By using low heat and patience, the onion releases its own juices, deglazing the pan naturally.
The end result is a rich golden-brown onion with a sweet, deep flavour – perfect for adding to a wide variety of dishes. Enjoy the finest caramelised onion crafted by HSN chefs.
Perfect for your recipes or straight from the jar
Caramelised onion is incredibly versatile – use it to enhance stews, soups, or pizzas with sweetness and depth. It’s also great spread on toasted bread with cream cheese or added to sandwiches and burgers for a sweet, smooth kick. It’s the perfect touch for warm salads with goat cheese or nuts, or as a filling for savoury tarts and empanadas. It also works as a direct side for roast meats, steaks, or vegetarian dishes like tofu or mushrooms, offering a delicious contrast to bold flavours.
Vegan-friendly – Allergen-free – Paleo
At HSN, we take the quality of our products very seriously. We’re known for the premium quality of our supplements, carefully selecting the best raw materials, using minimal additives, and creating precise and effective formulations.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at supplements. It extends to all our products, including healthy prepared foods like this caramelised onion.
That’s why we prepare our recipes with great care in environments free from any contact with allergenic ingredients, and without unnecessary additives, including animal-derived products. This allows us to guarantee our caramelised onion is allergen-free – in both ingredients and production environment – and fully suitable for strict vegan diets.
Traditional preparation with top-quality onions
Our caramelised onion is made in Spain using locally sourced onions. We handpick each one from small-scale farmers and local businesses to support Spanish SMEs and ensure the highest quality product. Expert agricultural professionals guide us to select the best harvests for our recipe.
Not all onions are the same – factors like cultivation methods, natural sugar content, acidity, and size determine their ideal use. For example, spicier onions are great raw in salads, while smaller, sweeter onions with higher natural sugar content are perfect for caramelising.
We’ve followed a responsible and meticulous preparation process, selecting only the best onions for superior results.
Upgrade your fitness recipes: Ideas for using it
Caramelised onion is a key ingredient in classic French onion soup. To make it, prepare a rich, umami-packed broth – you can use our Protein Chicken Broth powder. Add a couple of tablespoons of HSN caramelised onion to the hot broth and let it cook for a few minutes so the sweet, deep flavour melds with the other ingredients. Serve the soup in an oven-safe bowl, place a slice of toasted bread on top, and cover with plenty of grated cheese. Grill until the cheese melts and bubbles, creating a golden, delicious crust.
If you’re not in the mood to cook, use the caramelised onion on a fit pizza for a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with savoury toppings. Roll out your pizza dough – either store-bought or homemade with a more nutritious flour like oat – and spread a thin layer of natural tomato sauce. Evenly distribute the caramelised onion, then top with goat cheese, serrano ham, or fresh mushrooms to create a flavourful contrast. Bake until the crust is crispy and the toppings are bubbling. Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh rocket or drizzle with extra virgin olive oil infused with cayenne powder for a gourmet finish.

Convenient 250g jar – Easy to store and use
We did some serious research on the perfect packaging for this product – no joke.
Usability was key for our caramelised onion; we wanted durable packaging that could be opened and closed multiple times, as the product isn’t meant to be used all at once.
We also considered the jar opening size so you can easily scoop out the onion with a fork or spoon.
And, of course, the jar’s overall size – compact enough for easy storage, but spacious enough to keep the onion fluffy, not compressed.
The result? A sturdy plastic jar with a screw-on lid, a wide opening for easy access, and a 250g capacity – enough for about 5 to 7 servings, depending on how you use it.
