We enjoy this balsamic vinegar, a favorite of ours. Its flavor is modestly sweet, with a hint of prune and fig. It is not vinegary, as many store-bought products are. The texture is thicker and close to syrup, which is excellent for our use. We mix this with either walnut or hazelnut oil and add it to our salads. We are repeat customers and will continue using this vinegar in the future.
