A quality aged balsamic is known by how it moves in the glass. When you swirl Fondo Carrate, you can see the tears form slowly on the walls of the bottle. This is the result of a high grape must concentration and patient aging in wood casks. It has a syrupy consistency that stays on your food instead of running off. This vinegar is named after one of the original farms on the Elsa estate in Solara. Our team in Staten Island handles every order and packs these glass bottles with care to ensure they arrive safe at your door.

Francesco’s Tip
Do not cook with this. This is a finishing vinegar. Use it to drizzle over aged Parmigiano Reggiano, a creamy risotto, or even vanilla gelato. Because of the density, it grabs the food and lingers on the palate. A little goes a long way with a vinegar of this quality.
