Denissimo Dark Balsamic Vinegar

Our Denissimo Dark Balsamic Vinegar is the pinnacle of traditional balsamic craftsmanship. Crafted in Modena, Italy from Trebbiano grape must, it is slowly caramelized and cooked down, then aged for up to 25 years in a series of wooden casks. During this aging process, the vinegar touches mulberry, ash, oak, juniper and cherry woods, developing a complex depth and velvety texture. A small amount of Italian red wine vinegar is added to introduce probiotic fermentation, but the final product contains less than 1 percent wine vinegar. The result is a rich, syrupy balsamic with notes of raisin, dried cherry, fig, malt and dark chocolate. With its 1.36 density and luscious sweetness, Denissimo transforms simple dishes into gourmet experiences.
