Why no kitchen should be without balsamic vinegar
Versatile enjoyment & unmistakable aroma
Fruity, mild and versatile in taste – balsamic vinegar is a staple in many kitchens for good reason. Its roots go back to the Middle Ages, when it was initially used as a remedy in northern Italy before it began its triumphal march as a condiment. Even today, balsamic vinegar stands for quality and special enjoyment.
We’ll show you why fruity balsamic vinegar is a must in every kitchen and which dishes are particularly refined with it.
The origin of balsamic vinegar
The origin of genuine balsamic vinegar lies in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, more precisely in Modena. It was produced there in the Middle Ages from boiled grape must – traditionally matured for years in small wooden barrels.
“Balsamico” is derived from the Italian, which means “healing” or “beneficial”.
The special maturation period and the high quality of the raw materials make the balsamic vinegar what it is today: an aromatic vinegar with a sweet and sour note and unmistakable character.
Mild & fruity taste
In contrast to classic wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar is significantly milder. It contains less acidity and has more fruity sweetness, which comes from the cooked grape must. Naturally and gently produced, balsamic vinegar provides a well-rounded taste experience.
The fruity and delicate variety of our balsamic vinegars leaves nothing to be desired. 100% of the finest organic ingredients and natural vinegar fermentation ensure a uniquely delicious taste. They impress with flavors such as mild apple, fine lemon, fruity pomegranate and rich raspberry.

Balsamic vinegar adds that certain something here
Whether it’s a classic leaf salad, couscous, lentil salad or caprese – a dash of balsamic vinegar rounds off any dressing and adds depth.
Oven vegetables, antipasti or grilled zucchinis benefit from a fruity finish with balsamic vinegar.
A few drops over creamy risotto or a Mediterranean tomato sauce will also add more flavor.
Balsamic vinegar is also ideal for marinating – for example tofu, tempeh or meat. The vinegar gives a fine caramelization when frying.
Balsamic vinegar harmonizes particularly well with hard cheeses such as Parmesan or goat’s cheese – one drop is enough!
Balsamic vinegar also tastes great in a sweet combination. In combination with strawberries, vanilla ice cream or panna cotta, the fruity vinegar creates special flavors.
With a good olive oil such as extra virgin olive oil from Italy and a little salt, balsamic vinegar is the ideal dip base for fresh bread.
