Blackberry Ginger Balsamic

Sweet, tangy and slightly spicy, our Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar is an exotic twist on traditional aged balsamic. Crafted in Modena, Italy from premium grape must and wine vinegar and then infused with ripe blackberries and warm ginger, this naturally flavored condiment contains no added sugar, caramel color or thickeners. The result is a deep purple balsamic with layers of juicy fruit and a hint of heat that livens up salads, marinades, grilled meats and cocktails.

FAQs

1. How is Blackberry Ginger Balsamic different from regular balsamic?
This condiment starts with a traditional aged balsamic base, but it is infused with natural blackberry and ginger flavors. The infusion adds fruity sweetness and a warm, spicy note, making it more complex than plain balsamic without adding any artificial flavors or sugars.

Keep the bottle sealed and store it in a cool, dark cupboard away from heat and light. There’s no need to refrigerate it. For best flavor, use within 12–18 months of opening.

Yes. Each tablespoon (15 mL) contains about 40 calories, 0 g fat, 5 mg sodium and roughly 10 g carbohydrates (mostly natural grape sugars). It is free from fat, cholesterol and gluten, making it suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and dairy‑free diets.
