Balsamic—
The Fine Wine of Vinegar
Fine balsamic vinegar is described in terms
usually reserved for wine: complex, balanced,
fruity, full-bodied, jammy, tart, aromatic and well
structured. True balsamic vinegar is dense, with
a rich brown color, and tastes sweet and tart.
The impostors that depend on caramel for color
can easily be spotted with one sniff or sip. Aged
balsamic is too precious to be diluted in cooking.
It is used as a powerful accent drizzled over fish,
fruit, meat, cheese or ice cream.
Kirkland Signature private-reserve balsamic
vinegar is crafted in the traditional Italian solera
aging process, blending new grape juice into
older vintages every year. Over time the vinegar
develops complex flavors and color from wood
barrels—and a smoothness with no sharp
edges—that can come only from aging for as
long as 15 years.
