This is balsamic the way it’s meant to be—crafted in Modena, Italy, and aged to perfection for up to 18 years using the traditional Solera method. Each barrel—chestnut, cherry, oak, mulberry, and ash—adds its own character, layering flavor and depth over time. The result? Sweet, tangy, and complex, it delivers notes of fig, dark cherry, and wood-aged warmth that make even a simple drizzle feel luxurious.

With a 4% acidity level, it leaves the Four-Leaf Quality in the dust with its impressive natural density of 1.28+. This density is achieved naturally, without any sneaky thickeners or added sugars, thanks to an extensive aging process and cooking in copper kettles. Our balsamic vinegar is so rich, complex, and dense that it's practically a show-off making it the perfect partner to any olive oil in our collection for vinaigrettes, glazes, marinades, bread dipping, and drizzling over fruits, vegetables, or marinated meats and poultry.

Our balsamic is free from caramel coloring, added sugars, or thickeners, and is aged in wooden barrels following the traditional Solera Method in Modena, Italy.

FLAVOR: Sweet and woody with a hint of berries, fig, and dates – it's like nature's candy store! 

ENJOY IT WITH: Salads, cheese boards, fruit, roasted veggies, chicken, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

OIL PAIRINGS: Pairs excellently with any EVOO from our collection!
INSPIRATION:
- Give your veggies a drizzle dazzle
- Turn your bruschetta or Caprese into a flavor fiesta
- Make your fruit or ice cream extra sweet
- Mix with EVOO for a dip that's hip and happening
Producer: Acetum
Region: Modena, Italy

    This is the best balsamic I’ve ever tasted. No grocery store carries anything close to it. That’s because this is the real deal. I highly recommend.

    Exquisite Balsamic Vinegar!

    Posted by Vicki Bliss on 30th Mar 2022

    I bought a bottle of this Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar, on faith! The shop and I discussed it over the phone, and after hearing all the praise for this particular Balsamic Vinegar, I went for it. Well, 5 starts aren’t enough! It is everything you could possibly want in a Balsamic. The flavor is divine, the texture, perfect, and yes, delicious enough to put on ice cream! I won’t be without it now. Why buy anything else?
