Balsamic Vinegar Reserve 250 ml: The nose of this medium-thick condiment balsamic vinegar opens both sweet and tart, with notes of molasses and hints of fruit. Sweet and fruity on the tip of the tongue, a pleasant amount of acid creates an interplay of sweet and sour on the mid-palate that is a sheer pleasure. This delicious condiment leaves one with the impression that the balance of sweet and sour leans slightly to the sweet. An aged balsamic vinegar like this perfect as well as on the vegetables to flavor rice dishes, soups, meat, fish and salad; is a delicacy to accompany both soft and aged cheeses, strawberries and fresh fruit in general, ice cream and frozen desserts, as well as a valuable ingredient for tasty cocktails.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1000 ml: This quality italian extra virgin olive oil made from handpicked olives grown on select Italian estates specifically chosen for their rich soil, the age of their trees and the quality of their harvest. Well-suited for everyday culinary applications such as drizzling, sautéing and frying. The olives are harvested during the middle of the harvest season, resulting in a mild taste profile, with soft green nose, notes of almond and a momentary peppery finish.
