Vinegars

It is intriguing to think that in today's sophisticated world we are still using a product that was discovered, by chance, over 10,000 years ago. Defined as sour wine, vinegar is the result of the fermentation of natural sugars, to alcohol, and then a secondary fermentation to vinegar. Varieties include balsamic, red wine, white wine, sherry, and champagne vinegars.

Vinegars may be used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, sauces, and gravies. They may also be sprinkled directly on cooked meats to add flavor and aroma. Balsamic vinegar is particularly delicious if poured over fruit. Strawberries, peaches, and melons are sensational when a pricier, thicker grade of balsamic vinegar enrobes each piece.

We offer you multiple varieties. Try them all.



Balsamico Vignola- White Balsamic Vinegar-NEW! Not a fan of the discoloration regular balsamic vinegar imparts to some of your culinary creations? How about a WHITE balsamic… Balsamico Vignola White Balsamic vinegar is a delicious combination of Italian white wine vinegar and sweet concentrated grape "must" ie. the pulp and skins of the crushed grapes. However, unlike dark, white balsamic will not stain or color dressings, sauces, salads and other delicate dishes. Do we look out for our “urban gourmets”? Indeed we do. 16.9 oz $13.35		Terre Exotique Balsamic Vinegar- Aged 10 years NEW!

NEW!- Vinaigrette Budget Bundle A "VINAIGRETTE" by any other name would not taste as tart, or something like that...

Its uses are legion, but it is typically used to dress salads, cold meats, or fish. The wonderful thing is that it tends to be a lite dressing, and we can all use a little something "lite" in our lives. We've bundled our "BEST" together, and are even sharing Wolfgang Puck's "Perfect Vinaigrette" recipe. Oh, and yes, I did spell it correctly!
