This delectable vinegar is derived from the Pedro Ximenez grape, known for making sumptuous wine. Cultivated in the warm climate and moist soil of southern Spain and gathered in a late season harvest, these grapes are lovingly simmered into a semi-sweet vinegar that rests in American antique oak barrels for 12 years to steep and soak in subtle flavors. This bottle is the winner of numerous prestigious awards for best vinegar, and after tasting the nutty nuances and mild sour sensations, boasting fruity notes and traces of figs and dates, you’ll know why.

This is recommended for marinades that drench poultry, fish, lamb and meat, and for pasta dishes with vegetables. Drizzle it onto strawberries and cream or vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle onto salads with vegetables and fruit, particularly those with goat or blue cheeses.
