1.) Excellent Balsamic Vinegar at an amazingly low price.

To be honest, for the price, this is very good Balsamic Vinegar. I know that the price is rather low for quality vinegar and I was a bit leery of that aspect being a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. In this case that old saying just did not apply. As inexpensive as this is, the quality is actually quite high.

I use quite a lot of this stuff in my cooking and a very large number of my salad dressings have this as an ingredient. It would take an extremely sophisticated taste to tell this product from the more expensive vinegars and for everyday cooking I find that this Manicardi #12 more than fits the bill. Frankly, I was rather amazed at what I got for my money here.

Like all Balsamic Vinegars, it takes a bit of experience to know where the cut off point is and where too much is too much...this product is no exception to that rule. A light hand at first is the best policy.

I highly recommend this. You get the taste you want, the essence, without having to sell off an expensive piece of jewelry each time you cook or whip a salad into being.


2.) Terrific Taste

I purchased this as a gift for my wife for Mother's Day. She learned about it from a cooking class she took. We use is sparingly, but the taste is tremendous. It is better than any other balsamic vinegar I've ever had and I lived in Italy for 2 years. I highly recommend it if you want to spend this much on a product like this.


3.) Great Balsamic Vinegar

Features of Manicardi Aged Balsamic Vinegar #12

Manicardi Balsamic Vinegar #12 comes to us from the Manicardi farm in Castelvetro.

The Balsamic Vinegar of Modena has a precious and intense flavor thanks to its natural ingredients. The natural flavor of Balsamic Vinegar is obtained during the time inside casks of different woods like cherry and chestnut. Through the time in the wood, each wood's unique flavor infuses the vinegar. The result is an intense essence that enhances the flavors of foods, both simple and complex. The Balsamic Vinegar of the Acetaia "12" is recommended for salads, steamed vegetables, omelets, and roasted meats. For a special treat, dip slices of Parmigiano-Reggiano in this aged DOC-protected balsamic.

True balsamic vinegar is aged a minimum of six years and is traditionally made in Modena, a city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Manicardi's assortment of balsamic vinegars includes many different quality levels, which are denoted by a number, reflecting increasing aging and quality.
