Review San Giacomo Balsamic Gift Box By ChefShop.com / San Giacomo:From a top-notch producer of certified aged balsamico tradizionale, this has become one of our favorite condimentos for its wonderfully complex flavors. Priced for everyday use and with a quality to wow the palate, this is a must-have for your pantry. The nose of the medium-thick liquid opens both sweet and sour, with notes of molasses and hints of fruit. Sweet and fruity on the tip of the tongue, a pleasant amount of acid creates more interplay between sweet and sour on the mid-palate - sheer pleasure. The flavor of caramelized sugar yields to an underlying complexity that includes notes of pumpkin, blackberry, black cherry and even a whisper of black pepper, finishing with a pleasantly mild acidity in the back of the throat. Serving Suggestions: Andrea of Acetaia San Giacomo suggests this delicious concoction for salad dressings, grilled meats, young cheeses and ice cream.

Ingredients: Balsamic vinegar Price: $28.88
Review La Vecchia Dispensa Balsamic Vinegar 10yr By Chefshop.com / La Vecchia Dispensa:This relative youngster is oh so much more versatile than any balsamic made with wine vinegar, regardless of its age, or price. As they will tell you at La Vecchia Dispensa, creating a young versatile balsamic with the right balance of acidity and sweetness is a true art, the art of blending - without using any wine vinegar of course. Just the right amout of old balsamic with its sweet but complex flavor profile needs to be added to younger,balsamic with its fiesty acidity. That's what they've done with their "Quadrato" - called 10-yr balsamic here in the States to give people a sense of the aged vinegars used in the blending. It has a refreshing level of acidity, despite the fact that it is made solely from cooked grape must. Sweet and sour act in harmony toward a slow, dry finish. This is one of our favorite, all-purpose balsamics - its depth of flavor gives it a versatility that outshines all cheap imitators, and many authentic balsamics as well. Balsamic vinegar takes centre stage in the output of LA VECCHIA DISPENSA since the company considers it the resulting jewel of its labors. It is still made in the traditional way, by fermenting the must of Trebbiano grapes in barrels of costly woods - oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry and juniper - which over the years gradually give the vinegar its inimitable fragrance and flavour. The process continues with simple but clearly defined procedures that must be carried out in exactly the right sequence, at the best times and in the best places. [+]
However, skilled vinegar makers have their own secrets, handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. The aging process gives balsamic vinegar the characteristics that make it truly unique. After a certain number of years it becomes denser, loses fluidity and becomes much richer. At this point it should be treated with devotion, and can even be sipped at the end of a meals as an excellent aid to digestion.

List Price: $29.00 Price: $29.00
Review Minus 8 Ice Wine Vinegar / Minus 8 M8100-01:The process is painstaking, slow and laborious, but worth every step. No shortcuts are taken, no inferior fruit picked, no spoiled wine made into vinegar, Minus 8 is never boiled and never hurried. The superior quality that sets Minus 8 apart is guaranteed. All Minus 8 is hand-crafted by one winemaker at one vineyard, from ultra premium quality fruit grown to the strictest standards. First, each vine must be protected from hungry animals with netting, until harvest when the nets are removed. The harvest conditions for Minus 8 Wine Vinegar are often brutally cold temperatures below -8°C (17°F), winter winds and night skies make a bone chilling combination for the people who hand pick and press the grapes. Why risk frostbite for frozen grapes? The answer is in the taste. Months of weathering give the grapes unmistakable flavors found nowhere else; the slow natural freezing concentrates those flavors. The winemaker blends juices from 8 varieties of grapes elevated and harvested in this way to attain the intricate flavor profile and delicate balance. First, wine is made from the juice; a delicious luxury in itself. [+]
But then this wine is fermented, slowly, over months, alcohol transforming to acetic acid, or vinegar. Temperatures are monitored; overheating is avoided to make sure that every characteristic aroma and taste of the original wines is maintained. The unique fermentation culture used to produce Minus 8 was developed with the first making of Minus 8 many years ago, and it is cared for year after year for consistency. This vinegar isn't Minus 8 until it has been aged for years partially in French oak barrels, then blended with vinegars dating back to 1997, and finally bottled. Minus 8 is very limited in production.

- Model: La Vecchia 30th Anniversary Balsamic By Chefshop.com
Ingredients: Balsamic Vinegar Price: $24.99
Review La Vecchia 30th Anniversary Balsamic By Chefshop.com / La Vecchia:Complex and thick, this is a wonderful way to treat yourself and the best way to impress your food friends. Experience over the centuries has shown that balsamic vinegar should always be the last ingredient added to any dish, except when used to dress salads. Balsamics aged 20 years or more becomes denser, their fragrance and flavour are enriched, and it can be appreciated to the full on flakes of Parmesan cheese, on strawberries or on ice cream, or sipped at the end of a meal. This Balsamic Condimento was bottled to celebrate the 30th anniversary of la Vecchia's balsamic production for commercial sale, and it can trace its roots back thirty years. It is not as thick as some much younger condimentos, and this indicates a great degree of skill on the part of the producers. The must was not cooked down as much as in the case of many condimentos, allowing for a greater expression of fruit flavors. It has a backward nose that reveals only a whiff of caramelised sugar and acid. The flavor opens with woody notes and hints of raisin before blossoming into a very complex fruit filled mid palate with a cascade of blackberry and black cherry notes. It moves quickly to a nice nutty finish with a pleasant amount of back-of-the-palate acid. Leaning slightly to the acid as with most La Vecchia Dispensa Balsamics, we found this to be an exceptional "sipper", and one that would go well with duck, venison, and game birds. [+]
It s also a great price - very few balsamic producers put balsamic this old and flavorful in a 100 ml bottle. Balsamic vinegar takes centre stage in the output of LA VECCHIA DISPENSA since the company considers it the resulting jewel of its labors. It is still made in the traditional way, by fermenting the must of Trebbiano grapes in barrels of costly woods - oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry and juniper - which over the years gradually give the vinegar its inimitable fragrance and flavour.

Review San Giacomo Balsamic Condimento by ChefShop.com / San Giacomo:Andrea is very proud of his Condimento, which harkens back to the beginnings of his family's traditions. Just like the Tradizionale, it is produced solely from cooked-down grape must, carefully aged and fermented in barrels of various woods. The nose of this medium-thick condimento balsamic vinegar opens both sweet and tart, with notes of molasses and hints of fruit. Sweet and fruity on the tip of the tongue, a pleasant amount of acid creates an interplay of sweet and sour on the mid-palate that is a sheer pleasure. This delicious condimento leaves one with the impression that the balance of sweet and sour leans slightly to the sweet. San Giacomo's condimento is wonderfully versatile. Andrea Bezzecchi of San Giacomo suggests it for salads, grilled meats, young cheeses, and ice cream. and we agree. [+]
About the Producer: Even though the company is young, the Acetaia of Ancient San Giacomo was old with barrels of the black gold already in excess of 50 years when it began its commercial life a few years ago. In the mid 1990s, the work of maintaining the acetaia and producing its noble liquid was taken over by Andrea, a lawyer by trade, including another barrel-by-barrel move to the attic of his own modern house. It wasn't until the late '90s that Andrea was convinced to use his precious patrimony to produce Balsamic Tradizionale. The long years of work, a true labor of love, for Andrea was rewarded by three certifications, Red for minimum 12 years of aging, Silver for 18 years aging and Gold for 25 years of aging. About the Condimento: Unlike with his Tradizionales, with the Condimento, Andrea is not limited by specific regulations. He has handcrafted this product based on his intimate knowledge of the flavor profile of his batteries and his desire to create a specific flavor and texture.
