Strategic partnership with depth
Onion and garlic products are not a complementary range for ARONA, but rather a core historical competency. We have been bringing these raw materials from California to our market since the early 1980s – consistently, predictably, and with ever-increasing technological depth.
What began with trade relations has grown into a strategic partnership over decades. In the San Joaquin Valley, we work with Sensient Agricultural Ingredients, a producer that takes a holistic approach to cultivation, processing, and quality assurance.
„From farm to fork“ is not a promise here, but a lived practice: complete traceability right back to the field, sustainable management, state-of-the-art drying and cutting technologies, and its own research and development environment.
This combination of origin, research and experience makes onions and garlic Selected by ARONA reference products for industrial applications.
Today, they are available not only in conventional quality, but also in certified organic quality. With consistent performance, high microbiological safety and clearly defined flavour profiles.

Californian climate – natural variety of aromas
Alongside their technological stability, the climatic conditions of California particularly shape the characteristic flavour profile of these raw materials.
The dry, sun-intensive climate in the San Joaquin Valley ensures even ripening and a high natural concentration of flavour. Californian onions therefore develop a particularly clear, rounded flavour profile with balanced sweetness and a fine, clean pungency. The low sugar content significantly contributes to the flowability and processability of the products. This means that in many applications, anti-caking agents do not need to be added.
California garlic also benefits from the region's long growing seasons and mineral-rich soils. The result is an intensely pronounced, varietal aroma with a clear structure and good thermal stability. The product's natural stability supports consistent dosage and reliable process control – even without added flow agents.
The combination of climate, cultivation expertise, and modern processing technology makes California a benchmark region for dried onion and garlic products.
Further provenances
In addition to our Californian core expertise, ARONA also has established origin partnerships in Egypt, France, and India. These long-standing relationships provide us with direct access to high-quality onion and garlic products with regionally specific flavour profiles. This allows us to offer you the appropriate provenance for your needs, depending on the application, price structure, or specification, with the same quality management and transparency as with our Californian products.
