Sweet Italian Aged Balsamic Vinegar 25 Star Wood Barrel by Alidoro

This is the best aged balsamic vinegar, seriously. It’s thick, so it doesn’t just run off whatever you put it on, and its rich tangy but sweet flavor is an upgrade to anything you would normally use a regular balsamic on. This is the best one we’ve ever tried, and we’ll keep buying it until we can’f anymore!

This is the kind of balsamic vinegar one can use on salad to ice cream! It has an intense, sweet-tart flavor, with a thick texture, that is perfect for Caprese Salad. Most barrel aged vinegars are twice as old (32 instead of Alidoro’s 18) but also twice the price for 1/3 the amount. Many balsamic vinegars try to achieve the ‘barrel aged’ thickness by using additives, including sugar. That’s why Alidoro aged balsamic vinegar is truly an excellent, tasty, bargain!

Been buying this for many years and still love it. This authentic balsamic has that thick, syrupy consistency and sweet, rich, musky grape flavor that's always great to drizzle straight or mix with olive oil for salads, breads, poultry, seafood, cheeses, even fruits or ice cream! A great value for the price too. Yay!

This balsamic is worth every penny (and then some) as well as every star. For just over $30, you get a rich, naturally thick, sweet, complex vinegar that is a real show stopper. I wouldn't consider making a caprese salad without it. For years I purchased a twice as expensive (for less ounces) balsamic that did not measure up to this one. My only hesitation in writing this review is that you will buy it and it will go out of stock!

I have been using this product for years. I used to be able to buy it in my market however they stopped carrying it and I had to find it online. I use it for salad dressings, reductions (it is already thick enough and just takes a little heat to reduce it further - you can add mushrooms or shallots whatever else you want in the reduction), and other sauces. It has a rich flavor and velvety appearance and creates a fabulous simple dressing mixing with just olive oil and a little mustard. It is a necessary staple in my pantry.

Went by previous reviews. Good but not thick like I am used to with 18 year balsmic

Good product.

Very tasteful. Eliminates the need of a glaze.
