Organic onion | granulate | 2-5 mm | cold smoked

What is it about / Product description

These organic onion granules combine the robust aroma of sun-ripened onions with a fine, cold-smoked beechwood note. The brown, coarsely granulated pieces with a 2–4 mm grain size come from controlled organic cultivation and are refined according to Biova quality standards. This gives you a versatile spice that offers intense seasoning in a practical, tear-free form.

Thanks to gentle cold smoking in a specialized Biova partner smokehouse in Germany, the granules develop a pronounced yet harmonious smoky aroma. The seasoning is slightly sweeter and milder than fresh onions and, thanks to the granulated structure, is very easy to dose. As brown bulk goods, it is ideal for professional kitchens, manufactories and spice blends.

In creative cooking, the cold-smoked organic onion granules refine soups, sauces, marinades and dips as well as vegetable dishes and salads. Especially in BBQ rubs, grill blends and hearty spreads, they provide an authentic smoke and onion note. This allows you to add aromatic accents with ease, without having to chop fresh onions.

Origin

The onions come from controlled organic cultivation in Egypt, where sunny, dry conditions promote an intense aroma. After drying, the raw material is transported to Germany, where Biova oversees further refinement and quality control.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic onions are grown outdoors, harvested, gently dried and then processed into coarse granules of 2–4 mm. In an organic-certified smokehouse in Germany, the granules spend around seven days in cold smoke from high-quality beechwood, creating a finely tuned smoke profile.

Special features

Characteristic is the combination of organic origin, coarse grain size and elaborate cold smoking. Unlike simple onion powder, the granulated brown product offers a structured texture and a more intense mouthfeel. Processing in Germany enables seamless quality control by Biova.

Differences in origin and processing

While cultivation in Egypt benefits from the high level of sunshine, refinement takes place entirely in Germany. Cold smoking with beech smoke clearly distinguishes these granules from unsmoked variants or hot-smoked products and ensures a well-balanced interplay of sweet onion and clear smoke notes.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, there is a typically savory onion flavor with a slightly sweet, mild pungency. The scent of beech smoke is clearly noticeable without being overpowering and gives dishes a hearty depth. The coarse structure supports an even distribution of the aroma in the kitchen.
