Apple-Quince Balsamic Vinegar

Apple-quince balsamic vinegar, a fruity speciality vinegar in the style of Aceto Tradizionale

Apple-quince balsamic vinegar is made from pure apple and quince juice from local orchards, matured for several years in different oak barrels. In the style of genuine Aceto Tradizionale it becomes a sweet, fruity and balanced balsamic vinegar with a long aromatic depth. Made by the Weyers vinegar manufactory.

How to use

Apple-quince balsamic vinegar is a finishing vinegar for drizzling. A few drops elevate hard cheese and cheese boards, but also vanilla ice cream, strawberries and berries. In savoury cooking it refines salad dressings, game dishes, roast pork and gravies and adds a fruity accent to foie gras and pumpkin soup.

Good to know: Use the vinegar only at the end and sparingly, as its aroma is concentrated. Do not cook it, but drizzle it over just before serving so the fine fruity note is preserved.

What makes this vinegar special?

Instead of from wine, this balsamic vinegar is made from real apple and quince juice, which gives it its bright, fruity sweetness. The maturing over several years in oak barrels, in the style of Aceto Tradizionale, makes it thick and deep in aroma, without added sugar or colouring. So it combines fruity freshness with a balanced, mild acidity.
