Traditional Balsamic Vinegar by San Giacomo (aged 25 years), Reggio Emilia - 3.38 oz Review



Traditional Balsamic Vinegar by San Giacomo (aged 25 years), Reggio Emilia - 3.38 oz Feature

  • Certified by the Consortium of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar in Reggio Emilia Italy
  • Aged in wood barrels for more than 25 years
  • Amber color, complex flavor and velvety consistency
  • Made with passion by Andrea Bezzecchi of Antica Acetaia San Giacomo
  • Bottle of 3.38 fl oz
The labeling of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia includes three categories: Red Label, Silver Label and Golden Label, in ascending order of quality. Andrea Bezzecchi's Traditional Balsamic Vinegars have all been classified in the top two categories. Andrea, owner of the vinegar house Acetaia San Giacomo, has been a friend of ours since we met at a table in his warm kitchen. He told us about his creation with such passion that we knew the result of his work could only be excellent, intense and winning. Start by tasting it straight and pure from a teaspoon, so you'll understand why a vinegar can become so popular. Then use it anywhere. You'll find your favorite combination yourself: on a wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano, on ice cream, on strawberries, just to name the most classic uses. Andrea also makes Balsamic Seasoning by San Giacomo. It's just like Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, but aged for a shorter period: it contains vinegar aged one and two years, with a "fortification" of a Balsamic Vinegar that has matured in juniper wood barrels. It is light years from the supermarket balsamic vinegars that are so widespread lately. Use it anywhere you would use ordinary vinegar, but with a completely different result and taste.
