Caramelized onions are add a depth of sweet flavour to foods and breaking down and browning the natural sugars in the onion give it a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavour that add an extra dimension to everything from authentic French onion soup, to fresh cheeses.

Nikken Sautéed Onion Concentrate 2730 allows manufacturers to add authentic and natural caramelized onion flavour, while eliminating the need for this costly cook-step, Nikken have slowly and carefully sautéed sweet yellow onions in vegetable oil, then concentrated to one sixth by volume.
The result is a convenient pourable and pumpable liquid format, supplied in a 20kg tin can.
