1/250ml Bottle

This 5 year White Balsamic Vinegar is made by the family-run Acetaia Leonardi. It is produced exclusively from Trebbiano grapes and aged 5 years in oak barrels. It is pleasantly fruity and mildly acidic on the palate. White Balsamic is an obvious choice for salads, but also a very flavorful addition to fish, all white meats, vegetables, and even cheese! It is a best seller in France where is traditionally served over oysters!

How it's produced: For 5-year REALE Condimenti Balsamici, the grape must (cooked, concentrated grape juice) is placed in large wooden barrels (oak, chestnut, cherry, ash, juniper, and mulberry) with a starter, similar to sourdough bread. At the end of the first year, the must is moved to smaller barrels made from a different wood. Each wood type imparts a different flavor to the vinegar, resulting in a balanced flavor. At the end of the 5-year cycle, the must has gone through 5 barrels of different woods to achieve its full character and distinctive flavor. The flavor of Balsamic evolves over time and the longer it is aged, the richer and sweeter it becomes. This is our Best Selling 100% Balsamic Vinegar! The box and the bottle itself are beautiful and reflect the product’s refinement.
