La Vecchia Dispensa 10-YR Balsamic (Density: 1.22)
1 liter - Modena, Italy

This bottle holds 4 times the amount of La Vecchia Despensa 10-yr balsamic, and normally we only sell it to restaurant chefs... But we've decided to offer this incredibly delicious deal to all of our customers!

This relative youngster is oh so much more versatile than any balsamic made with wine vinegar - regardless of age or price.

As they will tell you at La Vecchia Despensa, creating a young versatile balsamic with the right balance of acidity and sweetness is a true art; the art of blending - without using any wine vinegar of course. Just the right amount of old balsamic with its sweet but complex flavor profile needs to be added to younger balsamic with its feisty acidity. That's what they've done with their "Quadrato" - called 10-yr balsamic here in the States to give people a sense of the aged vinegars used in the blending.

It has a refreshing level of acidity. Sweet and sour act in harmony toward a slow, dry finish. This is one of our favorite, all-purpose balsamics - its depth of flavor gives it a versatility that outshines all cheap imitators, and many authentic balsamics as well. Ingredients: cooked grape must, wine vinegar.
