Acetaia San Giacomo ‘Essenza Reserve Balsamic’ 7-year, 100% balsamic, no added vinegar (Reggio Emilia, 250ml)

For many of our customers Acetaia San Giacomo Essenza isn't just the best balsamic vinegar that we sell; it's the best balsamic that they've ever tasted.  Aged for seven years, the Essenza is rich and deep in flavor; unlike most balsamic vinegar, there's no wine vinegar added, so the texture is so smooth that it is downright sumptuous.  Yes, you could elevate salad greens with it, but be ambitious: try the Essenza in a cocktail or over vanilla gelato.  - Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67Gourmet
