The Classic Balsamic Every Kitchen Needs
Seven Barrels Traditionale Balsamic Vinegar is a rich, full-bodied dark balsamic made in Modena, Italy, and aged for 25 years. It balances the natural sweetness of concentrated grape must with gentle acidity and a smooth, thick texture.
This is the bottle you can use every day. Whisk it into vinaigrettes, drizzle it over tomatoes, serve it with warm bread, finish roasted vegetables, or brush it over chicken, pork, steak, and salmon. It is refined enough for a special meal and versatile enough to keep beside the stove.

Reviews
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
"The best balsamic vinegar out there. Great taste and its consistency is thick and creamy, not watery like some are. It’s a great addition to any recipe that calls for balsamic vinegar."
Best Balsamic Vinegar!
"I bought this Balsamic Vinegar at a show many years ago, and it's been the only Balsamic Vinegar that I use since then! It's absolutely delicious!"
Ruined for Other Balsamics
"I mentioned to a friend that I was out of balsamic vinegar. She told me that I had to try Seven Barrels. The way she said it made me order some as soon as I got home. I was not disappointed. I mixed some with olive oil and was surprised that it emulsified with no additional ingredients! I thought I would need to add salt or something to my vinaigrette for flavor, but I absolutely did not. I knew when I tasted this on my salad that I could now never let myself run out of Seven Barrels Traditionale Balsamic Vinegar. So happy I heeded my friend's advice!"

- Hi Candice, The sugar content ranges from 4-6gm per tablespoon for most of our balsamics.
- How long is the shelf life of balsamic vinegar?
