This Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar exhibits lower acidity and a bit more sweetness than our Aceto Balsamico de Modena.

Notes: It is very tasty and unique paired with Blood Orange or Lemon olive oils. Try it drizzled over fresh sliced peaches, cantaloupe, fruit salad and ice cream. As an added surprise, we found it equally delicious over Blue, Feta and Goat Cheeses.
