Acetaia Leonardi Gold Medal Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP
The balsamic vinegar has an inky, almost syrupy consistency and is balanced between acidic and sweet, with a rich dried-fruit undertone. Quality this high is best enjoyed straight, drizzled over most any grilled or roasted meat, roasted vegetables, cheeses or garden-fresh tomatoes. Or try as a counterpoint to sweet berries or vanilla ice cream.
Acetaia Leonardi Silver Medal Balsamic Vinegar
While Leonardi’s Gold Medal Balsamic Vinegar is one that we use sparingly, we use this high quality, well-priced Silver Medal version for everyday use. With its bold, sweet, tart and heady flavor, it will elevate any dish. And unlike many other balsamics, the viscosity that this vinegar offers allows it to coat and cling to foods better than lower-quality varieties. It has a strong grape must flavor that is instantly recognizable as good balsamic vinegar. Plus, it comes in a pretty bottle housed in a lovely sleeve that makes it gift-worthy for your favorite cook.
