FAQ's

What is Dark Balsamic Vinegar?

Dark Balsamic Vinegar is a dark, thick, syrup-like aged type of vinegar, made by the reduction of cooked grapes. Unlike the sharp taste of vinegar, balsamic vinegar has a rich, sweet flavor that can be used in a wide range of dishes, both sweet and savory. Balsamic vinegar also has many health benefits making it both good and good for you!

Is Dark Balsamic Vinegar good for you?

Yes! Balsamic Vinegar retains most of the nutrients present in the parent grapes and contains an adequate amount of nutrients such as iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Balsamic Vinegar has antioxidant properties, can aid in digestion, can help strengthen bones, and more! Incorporating balsamic vinegar into your daily diet can benefit your health greatly.

What is the difference between White and Dark Balsamic Vinegar?

Both our white and dark balsamics are produced from the same grape (surprise!), the white Trebbiano variety. The difference lies in the production method. Our dark balsamic is created by slowly cooking the grape juice in copper kettles over an open wood fire. The rich, sweet flavor comes when the cooked grape juice (also known as “must”) becomes caramelized. The grape must is then aged in wooden casks stored in attics for fermentation while incorporating the Solera method. With the Solera method, as a portion of the vinegar evaporates, each barrel is topped off with younger vinegar from the previous barrel so each year the new must is blended with the one from the previous year. The result of this aging process, which takes up to 18 years, is a delicious, complex, all-natural balsamic vinegar with no added sugar, thickening agents, or caramel coloring. 100% pure and 100% delicious!

How is Balsamic Vinegar made?

Dark Balsamic Vinegar is made with Trebbiano grapes and undergoes cooking and caramelizing in a copper kettle over an open wood fire before being aged using the traditional Solera Method - Modena, Italy. The balsamic is placed in old wood barrels (made from different types of wood) that previously held older batches of aged balsamic vinegar. These woods add character to the balsamic.

Does Balsamic Vinegar need refrigeration?

No, balsamic vinegar does not need refrigeration.
