Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar

California Mission Figs are pureed and added to barrel-aged dark balsamic for a thick and sweet vinegar that is a very popular choice for meat glazes, sauce for poached pears, or drizzling on soft cheeses. It also makes a great dipping sauce for quick and healthy snacks like meat roll-ups.

A Taste of the Tuscan Sun – Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar

Step into a sun-drenched orchard and savor the essence of summer with Olive This Olive That's Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar. This isn't your average vinegar; it’s a luxurious embrace of the Italian countryside, a symphony of sweet fig and rich balsamic, bottled up to add a touch of rustic elegance to every dish.

A Heritage Steeped in Sunshine:

Our journey begins in the heart of Modena, Italy, where generations-old balsamic vinegar production methods are meticulously followed. We use Trebbiano grapes, their sweetness concentrated through slow, gentle cooking. The resulting "must" embarks on a remarkable odyssey, aged for years in a series of progressively smaller wooden barrels. Each barrel whispers its unique story, imparting complex layers of flavor and a hint of subtle sweetness.

A Touch of Delicious Delight:

But here's where the magic truly unfolds. We introduce a taste of the sun – plump, sun-ripened figs, bursting with natural sweetness and a touch of earthy complexity. These jewel-toned fruits are carefully infused into the aged balsamic, slowly releasing their essence and creating a flavor tapestry that speaks of rolling hills and warm summer evenings.

A Symphony on the Palate:

The first wave of Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar is a delightful surprise. The rich, dark balsamic notes intertwine with the luxurious sweetness of the fig, creating a taste sensation that's both familiar and invigorating. The sweetness of the balsamic plays a supporting role, balancing the earthy notes of the fig and highlighting its delicate jammy character. As the flavor unfolds, a hint of spice and wood from the aged barrels peeks through, creating a beautifully layered experience that lingers long after the last drop.

A Culinary Adventure Awaits:
