The Essence of Acetaia San Giacomo is a full-bodied, intense and structured balsamic vinegar.
More sweet than sour, it is made from 100% organic cooked must, aged and blended between several vintages being more than 7-years old.
Only ONE-INGREDIENT, please see the label! Do not be fooled by less quality Balsamics which may incorporate wine vinegar during the process.
Aromatically it is very rich, releasing intense notes of dried plum, liquorice, black cherry, kola nut, with a background of rare notes consisting of ‘winey’ fermentation and oxidation characteristics.
Best used raw in this purest form, not to be wasted in a cooking process, most suitably enjoyed on risottos, mature cheeses, read meats, tartare, omelettes, ravioli, pumpkin, onions and desserts.
‘Essenza’ is a trademark registered in Italy and around the world by Acetaia San Giacomo, it identifies not only a product but, years long journey to achieve near-perfection.
