Our Blueberry & Vanilla 'Special Reserve' Aged Balsamic Vinegar is perfect for autumn nights, drizzling over goat's cheese salads, game, or desserts. It works beautifully with rich meats like venison, goose & duck too.
Apart from using our Great Taste Award-winning 'Gran Riserva' as the base, the Blueberry & Vanilla 'Special Reserve' is now a GREAT TASTE WINNER in it's own right now too.The judges had this to say about it:
- Beautiful, glossy balsamic vinegar with a look of melted molasses. The sharp acidic aroma is inviting, with hints of prunes & blueberries on the nose. Flavour notes follow through very well indeed, both the vanilla & blueberries can be identified independently, but also balance well with the richness of the balsamic.
- Rich, dark, unctuous balsamic with an appealing gloss. Light fruity aroma with a hint of caramel-sweetness. Deep, treacly, muscovado-sugar notes contrast with a clever, fresh-berry fruitiness & a delicate hint of sweet vanilla on the finish.
One key difference with this compared with other cheaper imitations is that we don't use watery, thin balsamic vinegar; these are thick enough to use as a glaze but without the artificial sweeteners & thickeners.
We also don't add a grain of sugar, caramel (E150) or sweetener anywhere in the process - all the sweetness comes from the passing of time & from the fruit itself. This is unlike any 'supermarket balsamic' or cheap, watery vinegars made with 40-50% sugar. This also means it's ‘free’ on all the slimming plans we know of!
Neither do we do 'reductions' - cheaper vinegars that have been boiled to reduce them & make them thicker.
Instead, our Blueberry & Vanilla 'Special Reserve' is a stunning, authentic aged balsamic from Modena, home of the World's finest balsamic vinegars, aged for years in barrels until just the right balance of sweetness is attained & then infused with fruit to give the perfect explosion of flavours.
Try a drizzle on thick greek yoghurt on pancakes, muesli or bircher in the morning for a blueberry kick. It works on a cheese board too, especially harder cheeses like parmesan or pecorino. It's also fab on sautéed greens & veg.
This is an incredible partner to anything and you'll only need a few drops to give a real richness.
