    Silverskin Onions

    Silverskin onions are small, pale, pearl-sized onions, usually sold pickled in vinegar and eaten as a tangy bite with cheese, cold meats and cocktails. They are the onion to reach for when you want a sharp, crunchy mouthful on a ploughman's plate or a cheeseboard.

    What Silverskin Onions Taste Like

    Silverskin onions have a sharp, sour flavour with a little natural sweetness from the onion underneath. The texture is firm and crisp rather than soft. Their small size means you can eat one whole, with no need to cut it up.

    Ways to Use Silverskin Onions

    Silverskin onions work best where a bit of sharpness cuts through rich food. Here are some common ways to serve them:

    • On a ploughman's lunch with cheddar, ham, bread and chutney
    • On a cheeseboard or antipasti platter
    • Threaded on cocktail sticks with cheese and pineapple for a party buffet
    • In a Gibson, which is a classic martini served with a cocktail onion
    • Chopped into potato salad, pasta salad or egg mayonnaise sandwiches
    • Alongside fish and chips, pies or a cold meat platter

    Silverskin Onions vs Pickled Onions

    Silverskin onions are smaller and paler than the larger brown pickled onions many people know from pub meals. The small size makes them easier to eat in one bite and easier to fit on a skewer or cocktail stick. They also suit a platter where larger onions would take over.

    For a neat finish, lift the onions out of the jar with a fork and pat them dry on kitchen paper before serving. This stops vinegar dripping onto crackers and bread. If you want smaller pieces for a sandwich, slice them in half first.

    Silverskin Onions FAQ

    What is the difference between silverskin onions and cocktail onions?

    The two names are often used for the same kind of small, pale pickled onion. Silverskin is the name for the onion variety, and cocktail onion describes how it is served, usually in a drink.

    Can you use silverskin onions in a martini?

    Yes, a martini made with a cocktail onion instead of an olive is called a Gibson. Silverskin onions are small enough to drop into the glass or serve on a stick.

    Can you cook with silverskin onions?

    They are mainly eaten cold, straight from the jar. You can also chop them into salads, cold sauces and sandwich fillings, where their tang stands out.

    Add silverskin onions to your basket for the next cheeseboard, buffet or Gibson at home.

    We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
