Two Types of Balsamic
All our natural fruit-infused vinegars are made from fresh California fruits (except for the mangoes, which are from Mexico). Our proprietary process adds no sugars but packs the flavor. They can be used a substitute for butter or oil in cooking; try it! Just pour about 1/4" in a skillet, more if you're using a wok...the vinegar will thicken and create a delicious glaze as you're cooking. Want recipes? They are directly on ALL of our balsamic vinegar bottle labels! AND you get a cocktail recipe too. Mango Mania Margarita? Calitini? Fig Ginger Brew? Berry Negroni? Keep your local mixologist happy... and, look mom, no sugar!
