The story
Who's behind it
Smits is a Dutch family business entirely dedicated to slicing onion for hospitality. The company processes Dutch onions and supplies kitchens, foodservice and industry. In 2024 Smits merged with Mol Fresh Food. Together they bring over 150 years of onion processing experience. Smits covers the largest part of the sliced onion market; Mol added the cleaned, whole onion. Director is Johan Otto. The premise stayed the same: cut the onion the way the kitchen wants it.
How Smits cuts
Smits combines cutting and sorting machinery with people who know their onions. The result is a product with a uniform shape and the same texture and flavour batch after batch. The onions are one hundred percent natural, without additives, and last eleven days. Order today and it's in your kitchen tomorrow: deliveries go out within 24 hours. Handy for an unexpectedly large booking, a wedding or a full terrace.
A cook slicing kilos of onion every day easily spends half an hour on it. With pre-cut onion you spend that time elsewhere, buy only what you use and set your cooking times to a consistent size.
In your kitchen
Finely chopped onion of one size colours evenly when you confit it or stew it down to compote. Rings of equal thickness fry crisp in the same time. For more bite, choose red onion or shallot in the same cut. Put the time you save into your stock, your sauce and your finishing.
Chefβs tip
Use the consistent size. Finely chopped onion that's uniform throughout colours evenly when you confit it to compote, and rings of equal thickness fry all crispy in the same time.
How to use it
Ideas for your menu
Onion compote
Finely chopped yellow onion slowly stewed to a sweet base under meat or on crostini. Equal size means equal colouring.
Crispy onion rings
Rings of equal thickness as garnish for a burger or stew. All the same thickness, so all cooked at once.
Onion soup
Start a large batch in one go with onion that's already cut.
Red onion on tartare
Finely sliced red onion as fresh, sharp finish on tartare or a sandwich. Colour and bite, ready to use.
