BONINI Producer of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO, Vivace Dressing 8.45 oz, aged in 3 year old barrels, Made in Italy, Kosher Certified

This was a gift for my husband, who is a gourmand, and is very picky about his balsamic vinegar - he is in love with it and asked me to buy him more once the bottle is empty.

I do a lot of cooking in my kitchen. Balsamic vinegar is a staple in my pantry and this bottle came at the perfect time as I ran out of the one I usual purchase. This balsamic taste delicious. It’s the appropriate thickness and flavor is on point. I like the bottle and how easy it is to handle and pour out of. I use balsamic vinegar to make salad dressings and also balsamic glaze. I have no complaints about this product and would recommend it to other foodies around in the market for a new balsamic vinegar, you won’t be disappointed.

This is a sweet condiment vinegar with a lot of grape flavor and only a mild acidity so it works well in sweet desserts, drizzled over fruit, or as an ingredient in glazes and sauces.It's fine for what it is, but the description and price both are very misleading. This is simply an inexpensive condiment or dressing vinegar, not an aged Traditional Vinegar of Modena DOP. Yes, the company produces that kind of vinegar, but this is not that kind of vinegar. Yes, the barrels may be three years old, but this vinegar is not aged for three years.

I am a BV fanatic. When this bottle arrived, I was surprised that it was much smaller than the bottles I usually buy. However, I quickly learned why it is so small. This is top quality BV. It tastes great, very flavorful, you can tell it has been aged and is not the standard shelf variety. I highly recommend this brand!

This comes very nicely packaged and the bottle is really lovely as well. The vinegar isn't fabulous though. It has a sweet flavor to hit and I do actually like it, but it doesn't have the consistency of other expensive balsamic vinegars that I've had before. It's a bit thin and kind of has a strong acidic taste, more so than I'm used to. Perhaps my expectations were too high, due to the ad stating that it was aged in 3 year old barrels and somehow I thought that meant it had been aged for three years in barrels. But evidently the barrels are 3 years old and the vinegar just passes through them? I'm not sure. Either way, it is nice enough.

The aging seems to give it some mellow notes, but it still has the sourness you expect. Either the aging process or the product itself has a more complex flavor profile that I'm really excited about. It's really good stuff.

The vinegar is far from thick and sweet. But most offended at the stupid suggestion that this was aged in three year old barrels. Not sure it was aged at all. Just put into a 3 year old barrel. So I feel misled.

This has an alcohol taste to it that I have never experienced with a Balsamic vinegar. Almost like they cut it with vodka. Not sure if I got a bad bottle (it was sealed) or if this is the intended taste. But, in my opinion this is no good.

Der Balsamico-Essig macht schon vor dem Probieren einen tollen, hochwertigen Eindruck und eignet sich durch die schöne Flasche auch hervorragend als Geschenk. Geschmacklich hat er mich auch sofort überzeugen können, er ist fruchtig und keinesfalls zu säuerlich. Ich habe ihn genutzt um damit Tomaten und Mozzarella ein wenig Würze zu verleihen, hierzu passt er sehr gut. Man kann ihn aber sicherlich auch gut zur Zubereitung von Salatdressing verwenden.Ich kann diesen Balsamico-Essig somit vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen und werde ihn gerne noch weiterhin zum Würzen und Verfeinern von Speisen nutzen.

Von diesem Balsamico-Essig hatte ich mir eigentlich eine ganze Menge versprochen.Leider hat er in vielerlei Hinsicht nicht ganz meinen Geschmack getroffen.Zum einen finde ich ihn von der Konsistenz her zu dünnflüssig. Ich mag es mehr, wenn Balsamico eine eher dickflüssige Konsistenz hat.Zum andern geht er mir vom Geschmack her zu sehr ins Saure. Klar, es ist ein Balsamico-Essig, die bleibt es nicht aus das er säuerlich ist. Allerdings finde ich den hier doch einen ticken zu sauer.Der Nachgeschmack, den man dann nach dem Essen im Mund hat, ist auch nicht so ganz das wahre.Alles in allem ist es ein mittelmäßiger Balsamico-Essig zu einem viel zu hohen Preis.Daher gibt es von mir hierfür nur 3 von 5 Sternen.

I was quizzical about the statement of the age of the barrels rather than how long the product had been sitting in the barrels. There was no issue getting the seal off (sadly). Poured out a sample to compare to the regular balsamic I use (cheaper, older, but by no means what I wish I could afford). This one is tan and smells strongly of vinegar. My regular is closer to tar in colour and has no overpowering vinegar aroma. I’d have chucked it out straight away, but my other half wants to save it for pasta salad vinaigrette.
