They are harvested and pressed, then simmered very gently for a full 24 hours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting glossy thick and caramelised juice is the precious grape must. Grape must is then aged in wooden barrels, which bring their own oaky rich flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the balsamic vinegar ages over many years, it slowly evaporates - concentrating the flavour and bringing lovely complex notes of smoky sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, the barrels used to make this incredible Italian condiment are never emptied. The master 'vinegar taster' artfully blends different barrels, constantly adjusting levels and sampling the contents to create the most delicious blend possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo while the balsamic in your bottle is\u003cem\u003e at least \u003c\/em\u003e12 years old, it's possibly blended with some barrels that are even older. This is a fabulous balsamic that brings instant depth and interest to both sweet and savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct formulations and details may change.
