For this recipe…

This aged Balsamic Vinegar is amazingly complex, with layers of authentic espresso and dark roasted coffee extract. It makes a fantastic glaze or bar-b-que base for pork, beef or chicken. Beautiful on Italian style desserts with cream or as a glaze for roasted vegetables. Add a shot to an “affogato float”, which calls for a tall mug of vanilla gelato scoops covered with coffee.
Our naturally infused balsamic condimento is caramel colour-free, free of added sugar or thickeners and aged in the wood barrels of the traditional Solera Method in Modena, Italy.
