This is our "1 Leaf" Balsamic. Pliny the Elder, the famous Roman naturalist (70 A.D.) said, "Vinegar possesses great merits for its many uses, without which life would lose its pleasantness". Fine Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the masterpiece of the vinegar world. In recognition of the extraordinary nature of this product, the Italian government has adopted legislation defining its characteristics and production process. Unlike wine vinegar, which is made from wine, Balsamic vinegar is made from fermented concentrated grape must (grape juice), and gets its dark color and pungent sweetness from aging in oak barrels over a period of many years. Compared to more pedestrian vinegars, Carli's is quite aromatic and flavorful. It is a sweet and delicious vinegar that is the perfect complement to Extra Virgin olive oil over salads.Note: this product contains sulfites, which are added to inhibit the growth of unfavorable, flavor-detracting bacteria.
