Giusti Reserve 100 – Premium Gourmet Condiment Based on Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Matured in Ancient Wooden Casks, Gift Set With 24k Gold Bottle Label & Wooden Box – 3.38 fl oz (100 ml) - Pack of 1

This is by far the best balsamic that Giusti makes. I have the three gold medals, five gold medals, 12 years old and the 100 years old balsamic. To have this is truly an experience worth trying at least once if you can. The balsamic is super thick and has a rich complex flavor. My only gripe is that once open the stopper didn’t want to go back on correctly so I had to use the pourer cork on it. This was great on fresh mozzarella as well as just a few drops on vanilla ice cream.

$6 Progresso Balsamic vinegar? Tastes the same and you can pay your rent this month.

I mostly use it in chicken thigh marinades for the grill, but it’s nice and thick and useful for cleaning the patina off carbon steel knives. In a pinch we used it for my son’s science fair volcano, but it was so thick it didn’t react as well as white vinegar, so only 4 stars.

These are small bottles, so we go through one every couple days, but it's so worth it. Delicious on salad, fruit, and even taking a straight shot or two with each meal! My only complaint is I wish they'd sell this in bulk such as gallon jugs so we wouldn't need to stockpile so many small containers.

I can just imagine the tacit joy upon opening & tasting this exquisitely packaged bottle of antiquarian balsamic vinegar, mmm, my mouth is watering at the heavenly thought!\X/ish ;0)
