Gewürzamt - Cuvée

Gewürzamt Cuvée, wine balsamic vinegar with a fine sweet-sour interplay

Gewürzamt Cuvée is our blend of wine balsamic vinegars and brings fine acidity and rounded sweetness to your salad, sauce or marinade in a single splash. We fill it in Klingenberg am Main. The profile: a fruity opening, soft balsamic depth in the middle, and on the finish an acidity that is clear but never sharp. A vinegar that balances rather than dominates.

How to use it

For leaf salads, tomatoes, raw vegetables and potato salad, as a base for vinaigrettes and dressings, in marinades for meat and vegetables, or as a final splash in dark sauces and braises. It also works neat over grilled vegetables, strawberries or an aged cheese.

Important: the Cuvée is milder than a classic wine vinegar. Use a little more of it in dressings and then season with salt.

Vinaigrette in 3 steps

1. Put 2 tbsp Gewürzamt Cuvée, 5 tbsp grape seed oil, 1 tsp mustard and a pinch of salt into a screw-top jar.
2. Add 1 tsp Garden Herb Salad Seasoning, close tightly and shake hard until everything emulsifies.
3. Pour over leaf salad or warm potatoes and finish with a pinch of fleur de sel.
