"I loved the Prickly Pear Balsamic Vinegar. I especially liked the Prickly Pear Punch. It was easy to make and it tasted great. I can’t wait to find more ways to use the vinegar. #SevenBarrels. It has the best Balsamic vinegars on the market. Their oils are great, too."

"Great flavor!"
"I like all of them"
"My favorite vinegar. Like it with the lemon olive oil but you don’t have that now!"
"The order was delivered over a week late but I received notice after notice that the item was at my local post office on time. I checked with the post office for a week and the Post Master confirmed the tracking said it was there but it was not. What is worse I got NO response from customer service until after it was too late for Christmas and was offered a coupon for my next order. I will never order from this company again. A very expensive Christmas gift was never given."

"Use this with the blood orange olive oil to make the best vinaigrette I’ve ever had!"
"Great with everything salad and vegetables"
