Balsamic Vinegar 500ml 16.9oz

California balsamic vinegar produced from the juice of just-harvested zinfandel and cabernet grapes grown in Yolo County and boiled down to create a concentrate, which is then fermented with a slow aging process which concentrates the flavors. The flavor intensifies over the years, with the vinegar being stored in wooden casks made of different woods like chestnut, acacia, cherry, oak, mulberry, and ash.None of the product is withdrawn until the end of the aging period of 6 years. At the end of the aging period a small portion is drawn from the smallest cask and each cask is then topped up with the contents of the preceding next larger cask. Freshly reduced cooked must is added to the largest cask and in every subsequent year the drawing and topping up process is repeated.

Balsamic vinegar is used in salad dressings, dips, marinades, reductions and sauces.  It is also used sparingly to enhance steaks, eggs or grilled scallops or shrimp, as well as simple pastas and risottos, on fresh fruit such as strawberry and pears and on plain cream ice cream. Balsamic vinegar has excellent digestive properties and it may even be drunk from a tiny glass to conclude a meal.
