La Secchia Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Aged a minimum 25 Years,100 ml Bottle of Italian Balsamic Vinegar Aged, With Gift Box and Blown Glass Dispenser, "Extra Vecchio”

I have tried and gifted many brands of balsamic vinegar over the years. I have settled on La Secchia as my favorite. I love their rich, elegant, complex depth of flavor.. I enjoy the 5 star and DOP 12 Red Label (aged for minimum 20 years) and DOP 25 Gold Label (aged for a minimum of 35 years) The DOP 12 (aged for minimum 20 years) is my daily favorite.. Looking forward to trying the 1959 (aged for minimum of 60 years) someday La Secchia is unique. Their Traditional DOP Red Label which is required to be aged for a minimum of only 12 years, La Secchia ages for a minimum of 20 years. Similarly, their Traditional DOP Gold Label which is required to be aged for only 25 years, La Secchia ages for a minimum of 35 years. This ADDITIONAL AGING that LA SECCHIA gives, bestows their balsamic greater depth and character of flavor compared to other brands. La Secchia’s policy also gives us greater tasting pleasure and value.

Outside of Italy, this is a great value for a great quality DOP grade balsamic. This is a 2-pack, the 12yr and 25 yr both. Though I have yet to open the 12 year, I have been using the Extra Vecchio and it is incredible! I expect the 12yr to be nearly as good, and I'll update my review once I actually dig into the 12yr also. I consider it like this- you are buying a bottle of very good, top notch extra vecchio (25+ yr) balsamic vinegar for a very fair price (in the USA) of $170. And you are getting a $100+ value bottle of 12yr DOP for free! Update: I have opened the Affinato (12 year) and it is also very good! You can't go wrong with these, both are fantastic DOP grade balsamic vinegars, and the price is very fair for the excellent quality. I also recommend the 5-Star IGP from this same producer; for a more affordable everyday use balsamic, it is the best IGP I have ever tried!

I have been using a bottle of really good Balsamic for years, just doing it a few drops at a time on special dishes. When it ran out, I decided to splurge on a 35 year, "tradizionale" Balsamic. I am really glad I did. Yes, it's pricey, but as I said, I only use drops at a time, and it comes with a very handy doser top which makes it very easy to pour just a drop or two at a time. It seems that some people only believe that Balsamic should get sweeter as it is aged, but that is not entirely true. It is a vinegar. There should be traces of both the sweet and sour, with neither being overpowering. That is the exact spot that this vinegar hits. After pouring whatever I need through the doser, I pull it out of the bottle, and just let any drips fall on my tongue. You don't want to waste a drop.

I recieved this item as a Christmas present. The taste is very delicious. The way the bottle is presented in the packaging is nice as well. Outside of high end restaurants, I haven't had the opportunity to have real balsamic vinegar in my posession. The taste cannot be and should not be compared to anything you purchase in a grocery store. It is pricy, but if you are a true lover of the real deal, I think this is a solid purchase. I will use it sparingly since it's not a lot, but it is a true treat!

Very high quality, amazing flavor!

Delicious and as ordered 25yrs old, well packaged and glad someone makes this....

Nice but not worth the price!

I read about traditional balsamic in a post, might have been on Quora. I love balsamic vinegar, and had to try a real traditional balsamic. All I can say is WOW. The taste is amazing. This is not a salad dressing, it is a finish sauce, use it as a drizzle for extra flavor. I have drizzled it on salads, chicken, fish and tomatoes for a flavor treat. The traditional process of reducing the grape over years, to its syrup consistency creates a magical taste that is beyond compare. I highly recommend this very fine Balsamic.

Gavé it as a gifs to my grand daughter

prodotto fantastico consiglio a tutti

Great 'proper' balsamic', nothing like the cheap balsamic vinegar you get in supermarkets. This is thick, sweetish and delicious. Brilliant for adding to salads. It's expensive for sure, but its worth it for restaurant quality balsamic.

mais vérifier le meilleur prix. Il y a des alternatives
