Giusti Italian Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP - A Matured, Thick & Balanced Authentic Italian Aceto Balsamico di Modena - 3 Gold Medals Gran Deposito Made in Italy - 8.45 fl oz (250ml) - Pack of 1

An excellent - REAL - balsamic vinegar, and worth the price. I would never touch the cheap supermarket fake stuff again. I can't compare this to the even higher-end products, but if they're even better, I would be amazed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:High end product.

I was lucky enough to stop at a beautiful family-owned winery in Florence last summer and they served this balsamic vinegar with the antipasto. It is so delicious! I had purchased a bottle while I was there and am very thankful Amazon has it available for purchase.

This is a nice, syrupy, aged balsamic vinegar. However, it is sold in at least three different 250 ml bottles of different shapes, this one shaped like a champagne bottle, another one short and squat, and a third tall and thin with a long neck, each at a different price point. As best I can determine, the product in all three is identical, so unless you are collecting bottles, buy the one with lowest price.

I love this vinegar! or "condiment" as it's called. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Try it on plain cukecumber & tomato salad...yumm!

Once I investigated balsamic vinegars, I decided this iteration of genuine balsamic was about all my budget could handle (my first exposure to this Giusti balsamic vinegar was completely serendipitous, as a sale on a set of vinegars from a gourmet website).While some purists might look askance at my use of this for prosaic broccoli salad, the flavor burst is well worth the price. I haven't tried using the vinegar alone as a condiment, but intend to try; a little goes a long way!

Taste and consistency are the best. Hard to find it in stores for the 250ml bottle

I have been using the red label Giusti for years, and any salad to which it has been added has been a life changing experience, both for me and my guests. I have also tried yellow label (much more expensive) and white label, but red has the best taste IMHO. I cannot recommend it enough.
