Aged at least 3 years in oak barrels • Made in Italy • 250 ml / 8.45 fl oz
Mazzetti Gold Label is a Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI aged for at least three years in oak barrels. Made from cooked grape must and wine vinegar, it has a smooth, medium body and a gently sweet, tangy flavor. It pours easily and is not a thick balsamic glaze.
Use it on tomatoes and mozzarella, grilled meats or roasted vegetables. A few drops are also good with Parmigiano Reggiano, strawberries or vanilla gelato.
What Makes Mazzetti Gold Label Different?
- At least three years in oak barrels: Aging softens the acidity and develops the flavor.
- More cooked grape must than wine vinegar: A rounder, fruitier taste with notes of plum jam and sweet spices.
- Protected PGI production: Verifies its connection to the designated production area in Modena.
- Medium-bodied and pourable: Suitable for dressings, cooking and adding to a finished dish.
- Made and bottled in Italy: Non-GMO Project Verified.
How to Use Mazzetti Gold Label
- Grilled and cured meats: Drizzle over steak, pork, chicken or sausage, or serve a little with cured meats.
- Roasted vegetables: Add to peppers, mushrooms, onions, squash or Brussels sprouts.
- Salads: Dress tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, or mix with olive oil for an arugula salad.
- Cheese and fruit: Try a few drops on Parmigiano Reggiano, strawberries or vanilla gelato.
- Cooking: Use in pan sauces, marinades or risotto for a sweet-and-tangy flavor.
Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Whisk 1 tablespoon of Mazzetti Gold Label with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt, black pepper and a small spoonful of Dijon mustard if desired.
Francesco’s Tip
Start with a few drops after your grilled meat or vegetables come off the heat. You should still taste the food, not just the balsamic. Taste before adding more.
