Fig Balsamic

Fig Balsamic Vinegar

Few flavor combinations in the entire culinary world carry the timeless, instinctive rightness of fig and aged balsamic. Both are ancient Mediterranean ingredients with deep roots in the same sun drenched culinary traditions that gave us so much of what we love about Italian and Southern European cooking. Together they create something that feels simultaneously familiar and extraordinary — as though these two ingredients were always meant to find each other in a single bottle.

This 12-year minimum aged dark Modena balsamic is infused with freshly harvested figs at their most concentrated and deeply flavored — jammy, rich, and boldly figgy in a way that captures the essence of a perfectly dried fig at the peak of its natural sweetness. The fig flavor is deep, forward, and unmistakable from the very first drop, carried on the complex foundation of aged balsamic in a combination that is quite sweet while maintaining just enough natural acidity to keep every application balanced, sophisticated, and completely alive.

This is the balsamic that belongs on every cheese board, in every charcuterie spread, and drizzled over a wheel of warm baked brie in front of every guest you have ever wanted to impress. It is also, quietly, one of the most versatile balsamics in our entire collection.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Baked brie — pour generously over the top before baking and watch it become the most talked about dish at every gathering
• Charcuterie and cheese boards — drizzle over everything without restraint
• Aged manchego, sharp pecorino, gorgonzola, or creamy goat cheese
• Prosciutto, salami, and cured meats of any kind
• Roasted Brussels sprouts — toss with our Butter or Garlic EVOO before roasting then finish with a generous drizzle
• Rack of lamb or lamb chops — a deeply natural Mediterranean pairing
• Grilled or roasted chicken — outstanding as a glaze or finishing drizzle
• Fresh arugula salad with walnuts, goat cheese, and sliced fresh figs
• Vanilla ice cream or cheesecake
• Pizza with gorgonzola, caramelized onions, and prosciutto
• Fresh or dried figs with aged cheese as a simple and stunning appetizer

Try this: Place a wheel of brie in a small baking dish, score the top in a crosshatch pattern, and pour this Fig Balsamic generously over the surface. Scatter with fresh thyme and a handful of walnuts and bake at 375 degrees until the cheese is soft and bubbling and the balsamic has reduced into a deeply caramelized, jammy glaze. Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers. This single dish has converted more people into Fig Balsamic devotees than anything else we have ever served — and it takes less than fifteen minutes from start to finish.

EVOO pairings: Our Rosemary EVOO creates a deeply savory and herbal Mediterranean combination perfect for lamb and roasted meats. Our Blood Orange EVOO brings a bold citrus brightness that cuts through the fig sweetness magnificently. Our Basil EVOO delivers a fresh herbaceous counterpoint that makes this pairing extraordinary over fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Our Tuscan Herb EVOO creates a warm, complex Italian herb and fig combination that is outstanding for bread dipping and finishing pasta dishes.

All of our balsamics are aged a minimum of 12 years in Modena, Italy — the birthplace of true balsamic vinegar. No shortcuts, no compromises.
