Gourmet Living Traditional DOP Balsamic Vinegar Aged 25 Years | 100 Milliliter Aged Aceto Balsamico Extravecchio | Tested, Sealed and Bottled in Modena, Italy | 100% Grape Must

I don’t know where to start with this. I love Italian food but I’d never been a fan of balsamic vinegar until a trip to Rome a couple of years ago.This is something else. It’s hard to explain why but the difference with this and your average supermarket bottle of balsamic vinegar is like comparing comparing a £5 bottle of wine to a vintage four figure bottle, or JD to a rare single malt Scotch whisky that you’d pay over £10k for.This aged balsamic vinegar is perfect for adding a little something special to meals or just for using on special occasions. It comes nicely presented in a box and includes a stopper and a dripper. You don’t just pour this stuff, you don’t need a lot, and it’s pricey.If you already have a taste for balsamic vinegar this stuff will blow you away. And if you’re not a massive fan, ask for some at a good Italian restaurant to see how a proper balsamic vinegar should taste. It’s unreal.

Looking at the price tells you all you need to know about this 25 Years Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy.The Italians take their Balsamic Vinegar seriously and this is really designed to appeal to those who follow the same path, it's a world away from the bottles on the supermarket shelf that you'll pay a few quid for. 100ml may seem small, but you really only need a little at a time of this, it's quite strong, as you'd expect a 25 year old barrel aged vinegar to be.The price may put a lot of people off but it's about right for the quality and authenticity you get in return so if you're serious about your Balsamic Vinegar then this is worth every penny.
