25-year Aged Balsamic Vinegar

No reviews

This exceptional vinegar won a gold medal at the Consorteria dell' Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale — Spilamberto, 142nd Annual Fiera di San Giovanni. The most prestigious award for balsamic vinegar!  Made by three siblings who each inherited their barrels at birth, this balsamic was produced when they were young and is just now coming into maturity, receiving accolades from experts everywhere.

This authentic DOP Balsamic Vinegar is from Modena, Italy. True balsamic vinegar is made from a reduction of pressed Trebbiano and Lambrusco grape, resulting thick syrup that is very unlike what most consumers think of as balsamic vinegar and aged in a battery of several barrels of successively smaller sizes.

Rich, glossy, deep brown in color, it has a complex flavor that balances the natural sweet and sour elements of the cooked grape juice with hints of wood from the casks. Used in salad dressings, dips, marinades, reductions and sauces. It is often served in drops on top of chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano and mortadella as an antipasto. It is also used sparingly to enhance steaks, grilled fish, or roasted vegetables as well as on fresh fruit such as strawberries and pears and on vanilla gelato.
