Balsamic Vinegar

I wanted to echo the other positive reviews by folks that are "blown away" by the quality and taste of this product. I have never spend $45 on a condiment before. Like others I have used the $3 bottle of store bought balsamic vinegar. There is NO comparison. This stuff is thick and sweat. It has the viscosity of syrup. The flavors are rich and complex. This stuff adds an incredible eating experience when drizzled over a good cheese. It is delightful on Avacado. I originally used it on a juicy heirloom tomato and was disappointed because the juice of the tomato watered down the syrupy goodness of the vinegar too much. To experience this product you do not want to water it down in any way. I mixed 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 olive oil with some minced garlic and onions, a little salt and pepper. It made a nice thick dressing that was to die for spooned over mixed greens. Also, my concoction did not diminish the viscosity or the flavor of the vinegar in any way. When using this product you want the vinegar to always be at the center of the taste experience. The biggest negative for this product is that once you try it there is no going back. And, at $45 a bottle it is priced like liquid gold. Heck, I do not spend that much for a 1/5th of quality Bourbon! I find myself checking the level in the bottle every time I open the cabinet. This stuff is a real treat to be experienced. I am pretty frugal with how I spend my money. I never thought I would spend 45$ on a bottle of vinegar. But this is not vinegar as you and I traditionally know vinegar. Now, it is hard to imagine not having a bottle of this in our cupboard for those special occasions.

High price? Definitely! Is it worth it? Words are inadequate to describe this oral ecstasy ;-) One needs all their senses functioning properly to begin to appreciate what has gone over the lips onto the taste buds. The Value Proposition is definitely worth it, but then, that's a personal opinion. Would I buy it again? Absolutely - even have gone so far as to buy it for Family & Friends [have NOT lost any yet]. So, if your credit card will not melt, go ahead - "Make Your Day !" The flavors & dimensions are immense & INTENSE. Thank God, you can use this very sparingly. My stereotype of "vinegar" is irreparably damaged! This is like a 6oz bottle of very fine Ice Wine. It should be classified as a dessert! And any drops sliding down the exterior of the bottle, just lick it [you already paid for it], because no one is watching (hopefully). DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER TRYING TO CALCULATE THE COST / BITE! Thanks to the chef who said in an earlier review that this was his personal favorite. That sealed the deal for me. ENJOY! ;-)))

We are repeat customers. This is the best balsamic I can find esp for the money. No, it’s not cheap but definitely worth the price. When I lived in NJ, I was able to buy balsamic from a small speciality store. This is comparable quality and a little less money. Great gift too.

Best balsamic vinegar. Others seem watery while this one has a thicker consistency. Excellent flavor.

THE best balsamic vinegar ever!

I may never buy another brand. Its so good I dont even use olive oil or other herbs, it is just that good on salads. Pricey but worth it

So amazing and so delish with olive oil

This vinegar does have a nice thick viscous quality to it the taste really is good it is expensive for the money that's why I'm giving it four stars
