Blueberry Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar

Sweet, tangy and deeply fruity, our Blueberry Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar combines ripe blueberry essence with the richness of a traditional Italian balsamic. Made in Modena, Italy, this naturally infused balsamic is caramel color‑free, with no added sugar or thickeners. It is aged in wooden barrels using the centuries‑old Solera system, allowing the flavors to mellow and deepen. The result is an intense blueberry balsamic that pairs beautifully with both savory and sweet dishes. It’s delicious on garden salads, fruit salads and cheese boards and adds a burst of berry flavor to your favorite recipes.

FAQs

1. What makes Blueberry Aged Dark Balsamic different from blueberry syrup?
Unlike a sugary syrup, this balsamic is aged for years and develops complex acidity and depth. It’s made from grape must and wine vinegar with natural blueberry flavor, not corn syrup, so it offers a balance of sweetness and tang.

2. How should I store it?
Store your bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it tightly closed to preserve freshness. Refrigeration is not necessary.

3. Is it healthy?
A tablespoon (15 mL) provides roughly 40 calories, 0 g fat, 5 mg sodium and 9 g carbohydrates (from natural fruit sugars). It contains no fat or cholesterol and is suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and dairy‑free diets.
