The beauty of our Metropolitan Market Balsamic Vinegar is found in its simplicity—no colorants, thickeners, or other additives—and it’s handcrafted from just two stellar ingredients, grape must and red wine vinegar. The premium grapes destined for our bottles are first aged alone in antique French barrels; then, they are blended with red wine vinegar and the two are aged together further. Each step of the time-honored production is lovingly tended by a multi-generational company. In the process of mixing and marrying, something magical occurs, and the result is pure, practically perfect, balsamic vinegar.
Our distinctive balsamic hails directly from Italy. On each bottle, you can find the Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP seal. This custom stamp proclaims our vinegar’s origin in Modena within Emilia-Romagna, the only region in the world allowed to use the seal and one revered worldwide for its sumptuous, sweet-tart vinegars.
A beautiful balsamic deserves a bottle to match. Ours is specially designed with a removable, easy-to-pour glass spout, so you get the perfect pour every time. Tie a ribbon around the bottle and you’ve got a great gift for the foodie in your life.
Rich and complex with a beautiful syrup consistency, our balsamic enhances every other ingredient it meets. Our customers tell us it bears no resemblance to what passes for balsamic in other stores. So, whether you drizzle it on ice cream or swirl some over salmon, it’s sure to be your new kitchen all-star.
