Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar

Playfully tart yet pleasantly sweet, Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar offers clean acidity with a crisp lemon aroma and balanced sweetness. The flavor comes from aging Trebbiano grape must with the juice of sweet Sicilian lemons, producing a bright citrus‑forward vinegar that brings zest without the harsh bitterness found in many lemon vinegars. It provides a refreshing alternative to lemon juice on salads, seafood or cocktails and is free of artificial additives.

How to Use It

• Dressings & Marinades – Whisk with extra‑virgin olive oil for bright vinaigrettes or savory marinades. The citrus note shines in Greek‑style dressings.
• Seafood & Poultry – Drizzle over fried, baked or broiled fish and shellfish, or use to glaze chicken or shrimp; the lemon cuts richness and adds depth.
• Soups & Sauces – Add a splash to soups, pan sauces or risotto for acidity and brightness.
• Mixed Drinks & Desserts – Stir into lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails or shrubs; a touch also livens up pound cake, fruit platters or yogurt.
• Dips & Finishing – Blend with olive oil and flaky salt for bread dipping; finish roasted asparagus, grilled vegetables or caprese salads for a citrusy pop.

Perfect Pairings

This citrus‑infused balsamic pairs beautifully with several of our infused oils. Try it with roasted sesame, garlic, basil, rosemary or butter olive oils for bright and zesty vinaigrettes; Tuscan herb, orange or black pepper olive oils for savory marinades; or mix it with pomegranate or fig balsamic for sweet‑savory glazes. These combinations highlight the lemon while adding complexity to salads, marinades and cocktails.
