Description

Our Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar hails from Modena, Italy, where it is produced in the traditional Solera style. Grape must and wine vinegar are slowly aged up to 18 years in a succession of chestnut, oak, mulberry and ash barrels, yielding a luxurious condiment that needs no thickeners or added sugar. The result is a rich, dense balsamic condimento with a naturally sweet, complex flavor. This versatile vinegar is a staple in every kitchen: use it to craft glazes for salmon or chicken, drizzle it over fruits and cheeses, whisk it into vinaigrettes, or reduce it down to a syrupy glaze for meats. Below, you’ll find its tasting notes, suggested uses, pairings, frequently asked questions, and links to delicious recipes that showcase its versatility.

I bought two bottles of this deliciousness; one for me, and the other as a gift. I absolutely have loved all of my purchases and would not go anywhere else. The oils and balsamic vinegars are always excellent! I encourage everyone to give them a try. Anyone nervous about buying online should go to the store and try any and all products!!

So glad you like!

Rich, dense and sweet

The traditional balsamic is what you want on your table! Really really rich, dense and naturally sweet-there is NOTHING like this in the grocery store!

Thank you Laura!

Best Balsamic Vinegar!!

Best Balsamic Vinegar!!

Great customer service and product

I love this vinegar. Franklin ma shopped moved to a new location. The clerk was great, got discount and told me all you can do - just not salad dressing.

The best

Haven’t purchased any other balsamic since I first tasted it. It’s been years!!

Thank you! So pleased you like it!

Total Goodness

Heaven in a bottle

We agree!

The best balsamic ever!!!

Love this. Use it on vegetables and on salads (as is, without mixing with olive oil). Have recommended to friends as well. Nothing compares. It's perfect.

Great product

Love this vinegar. We use it as salad dressing every day. It's got a rich depth to it. A must buy!

Thank you!

Traditional Dark Balsamic vinegar

The best balsamic vinegar I've ever used!! All other brands pale in comparison.

Thank you so much!

The best and I mean best balsamic

It’s very difficult to choose a favorite oil/vinegar from this store but this is my all time favorite. I use this in salads, gravy’s and dipping sauces. I used to purchase the store bought ones but never again. It is the smoothest balsamic that I have ever tasted and my go to when I’m purchasing a gift set for someone. I’m always sad when my bottle is low but it’s such a joy going in the Franklin store and discovering even more wonderful oils/ vinegars. It’s always hard to choose a favorite here. You can’t go wrong

Thank you so much!

Love this stuff. Great for recipes or on tomatoes.
