Syrupy as a chocolate sauce. this rich balsamic vinegar has been aged up to 20 years. Made by the Acetaia Leonardi farm, located 16 km. southwest of the city of Modena, near the river Secchia and Sassuolo at the foothills of the Apennines.
Excellency. A title with double meaning for this particular product: Sua Eccellenza (Your Excellency), as the ambassadors of the Duchy of Modena were addressed, and Eccellenza (Excellency) meaning an excellent product. This excellent product exhibits shades of brown with bright mirror reflections. Aromas of grapes, apples and caramel with a well-balanced hint of wildflower honey and maple syrup. Rich and vibrant on the tongue with a sudden lively finish. Sweet and sour in the front of the mouth and in the back with evolving caramel flavors, raisins and fresh cherries.
Enjoy it in its purest form on top of beef carpaccio, as a finishing touch to charcoal-grilled filet mignon, and especially on spit-roasted squab, quail and guinea fowl. Particularly suited to drizzle over a baked pear, grilled apples as well as peaches. Bring blueberries alive with a little pour along with a scoop of vanilla gelato.

White Balsamic Vinegar, developed for chefs so as to not color their dishes, is a clean, crisp cousin of our 18-year aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar. Also from Modena, Italy’s finest grape must, the biggest difference between the two is aesthetic: White Balsamics are cooked at lower temperatures to retain their clear coloring, and aged for less than a year to avoid thickening. Still sweet and potent enough to be dripped onto a dish as a condiment and balanced enough to pair with our olive oils for a salad dressing, this balsamic is perfect for light summer recipes or to add a bit of flavor to your seltzer.
Haphazard streets wind past brightly-colored yellow, orange, and pink buildings, the spire of the Torre Ghirlandina peering above their walls over your head. The tradition of Balsamic Vinegar here in Modena, Italy is sacred and the city’s pride in their craft is evidenced everywhere. In the archives of Modena, on public view, is a wine list from a secret Ducal cellar dated 1747 and balsamic vinegar is listed alongside the wine. There are writings from 1508, recalling balsamic vinegar in the court of the Duke of Modena, who was Lucrezia Borgia’s husband. The first Balsamic Vinegar was documented almost a thousand years ago in 1046 here in Modena, and that process, created all those years ago and demarcated by the essential word “tradizionale” or “traditional”, is the same process we use for ours.

The African sun is bright in the tiny coastal town of Sidi Bou Said, and you raise your hand to shade your eyes as you glance down its flagstone street. The exquisite cerulean blue of the sky is reflected everywhere -- the window shutters, doors, railings, and rooftops of every home and shop. The walls of these street-lining buildings are white, the doorways arched, and men and women walk past you in long white and yellow robes. The smell of spicy Tunisian food cooking in a home nearby wafts towards you -- pepper and garlic and the unique spice of this region: Baklouti peppers. The heat of a North African sun is captured in this peppery olive oil, a challenge to anyone who loves adding spice to their meats, vegetables, or sauces -- with all the delicacy and dimension of artisan infusion.
Caution Very Hot!
Ingredients:
For the Shrimp & Sausage
1 1/2 lbs | Shrimp, 21-25 count |
1/2 lb | Andouille Sausage, cut in 1/2" dice |
1 large | Shallot, minced |
2 cloves | Garlic, minced |
1 tsp | Garlic Powder |
1 tsp | Freshly Ground Black Pepper |
1 TBSP | Smoked Paprika |
1 TBSP | Dried Thyme |
1 tsp | Salt |
2 TBSP | Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil |
For the Grits
2 1/2 cups | Shrimp Stock or Chicken Stock |
1/2 cup | Heavy Cream |
3/4 cup | Quick Grits |
1 cup | Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, shredded |
3 TBSP | Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil |
To Taste | Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper |
For the Sauce
3 TBSP | All-Purpose Flour |
1/2 cup | Shrimp Stock or Chicken Stock |
1 TBSP | Tomato Paste |
1 cup | Heavy Cream |
1 TBSP | Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil |
1 tsp | Dried Thyme |
Directions:
(Skip this first step if using chicken stock)
Peel the shrimp and reserve the shells. Heat 3 cups of water with shrimp shells in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, and then set aside to steep for 5 minutes. Strain the stock and reserve.
Mix together the garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, thyme, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in the spice mixture to coat.
Heat the Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the Andouille sausage pieces and saute until just barely golden brown. Add shallots and cook for another minute. Finally, add the garlic and shrimp. Saute until the shrimp is just barely cooked though, another minute or two. Be careful not to overcook. Remove the shrimp and sausage mixture and reserve.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of shrimp or chicken stock and heavy cream to a boil. Whisk in the grits and cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and the grains are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the cheese and
Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and whisk just until the cheese is melted. Cover and remove from the heat.
In the same pan that the shrimp and sausage was cooked in, add a tablespoon of Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil, over medium-high heat add the flour to the olive oil and whisk until the roux becomes a medium-tan color, scraping up all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and stir into the roux, cooking for another minute. Add the shrimp stock and cream to the pan, and whisk until the mixture is thickened, another minute or two. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the reserved shrimp and sausage mixture to the sauce and stir, heating until warmed through.
Serve the shrimp and sauce over the hot grits with more Baklouti Green Chili Fused Olive Oil drizzled over the top, if desired.
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup | Heavy Cream, steaming hot |
8 oz | Best Quality Dark Chocolate Chips (or chopped) |
1/2 Cup | Cocoa Powder for rolling the truffles (or 6 oz melted for coating) |
1 pinch | Sea Salt |
3 TBSP | Dark or White Balsamic Vinegar, such as INFUSED Cascadian Wild Raspberry White, INFUSED Tangerine Dark, or INFUSED Espresso Dark |
Directions:
Place the chopped chocolate in a medium size heat-proof bowl.
Heat the cream and salt in a heavy bottom sauce pan over low heat until it just begins to steam. Do not allow it to simmer or boil.
Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Stir the mixture gently until all the chocolate is melted. Add the balsamic and stir to combine well. Cool to room temperature and then place the bowl in the refrigerator, covered until the ganache has become cold and can be scooped and formed into balls.
Have a baking with a sheet of parchment ready that will fit into your fridge or freezer.
Take 1 tsp of cold balsamic ganache and quickly roll between your hands to form a ball. Do this quickly or it will melt!
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and then place the sheet in the fridge or freezer to firm up the truffles when you're done rolling all of them.
Roll into cocoa powder or in tempered (melted) chocolate. However, these are best stored in single layers, separated by parchment or wax paper in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They can be taken out and served at room temperature.

From Giuseppe Giusti - and imported from Italy.
5oz bottle
Ingredients:
1 6-8 lb | Bone-in Skinless Smoked Ham, shank or butt-end portion |
2 cups | Gravenstein Apple White Balsamic Vinegar |
2 TBSP | Dijon Mustard (or Other Grainy Mustard) |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325.
Line a large roasting pan with foil. With a sharp knife, score the fat all over the ham in a diamond pattern. Place the ham, cut side down, in the roasting pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, reduce the
Gravenstein Apple White Balsamic Vinegar to 1/2 cup, by gently simmering it in a medium sauce pan set over low heat. This process should be done slowly, taking approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. When the
Gravenstein Apple White Balsamic Vinegar has become thick and syrupy and is reduced by half, remove from heat and whisk in the Dijon mustard.
After baking for an hour, remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 350. Using a pastry brush, liberally apply the balsamic glaze all over the ham, paying special attention to working it into the scored portions. Cover just the shank end with a small piece of foil to prevent it from burning.
Return the uncovered ham to the oven and roast for approximately 35 minutes, or until the glaze has caramelized and the ham is golden brown. Use any extra glaze as a dipping sauce.

You step through an arched doorway in the white stucco wall onto a flagstone path. The sun beats down and you wipe a drop of sweat from your brow before stepping off the gravel path into the lemon tree’s shade to pick your meal for the night: a handful of fresh tomatoes off the vine and basil for a Caprese salad. The basil snaps lightly in your fingers and its crisp scent fills the air. The basil infused in this olive oil brings the freshness of a Mediterranean garden to your recipes; it can be used to saute vegetables, bring a burst of flavor to a vinaigrette, or drizzle over a salad (especially Caprese!).

Ingredients:
2 Medium | Golden Beets |
2 Medium | Red Beets |
1/2 Cup | INFUSED Blood Orange Olive Oil, divided |
1/2 Cup | INFUSED Blenheim Apricot White Balsamic Vinegar |
1/4 Cup | Dried Cherries |

To Taste | Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Scrub the beets removing any debris, roots, and green parts.
Place the beets on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fully enclose the beets in to a package. Drizzle the beets with 1 TBSP of INFUSED Blood Orange Olive Oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and 1 TBSP of water.
Seal the package by crimping the foil and roast the beets for one hour or until tender when pierced with a knife.
Allow to cool and then peel. Cut the beets into bite-sized wedges and set aside.
To prepare the dressing, whisk the remaining INFUSED Blood Orange Olive Oil with the INFUSED Blenheim Apricot White Balsamic Vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Toss apricot slices, beet wedges, cherry tomato halves, dried cherries, and Marcona almonds with dressing. Arrange on plate, garnish with crumbled goat cheese and finish with freshly ground black pepper.
