Odysea Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI, Traditional Italian Balsamic Vinegar, Glass Bottle, 250ml

We have always bought basic balsamic vinegar from the supermarket for dressings and more recently, my favourite lunch has included avocado and balsamic vinegar. I bought a bottle of our usual brand from Tesco but when I used it, it nearly melted my eyeballs. The vinegar taste was extremely strong and alcoholic, it was watery and had none of the light earthy sweetness I have expected. Outraged at the assault on my tastebuds I decided I would get some proper balsamic vinegar and ignore the cost. The Odysea was just over twice the cost of the supermarket brand but when I opened the stoppered bottle and poured it out I could instantly tell it was value for money. The Odysea balsamic vinegar is aged for 10 years, dark, viscous and, what tastes to me, sweet with figgy overtones complementing the smooth vinegar flavours: definitely not eyeball melting. This balsmic vinegar would be excellent mixed with olive oil for dressing or dipping ciabatta or french bread.

Love it. Worth every penny

Add to shallots and bake or red peppers in pepperonata. add to oil and dip bread - decent ingredient to flavour Med food

It is a very good product, even though it is expensive to buy. I shall continue to buy this product, as I haven’t seen anything better in the market.

Great, I really like the thick consistency and it has a well rounded taste. Not like the cheap supermarket product. Would buy again.

The only balsamic vinegar I use as it's a deliciously thick syrup thay tastes devine. Unlike anything else on the market.

We brought home an expensive balsamic vinegar from Ponti when we went to Rome a couple of years ago and bought Odysea when we wanted to replace it.In our opinion this is as good if not better. It is sumptuously smooth, rich and with a perfect level of sweetness and it elevates antipasti and salads to a new level. So good and such good value that we are now ordering it on Subscribe and Save with their excellent Olive Oil.

Just love this Odysea Balsamic Vinegar. It has a Beautiful Flavour, the right consistency & is worth every penny. Just recently ordered another bottle as don't want to run out! Have bought other cheaper brands before & have ended up pouring it away. Delicious over Salads, & also tasty with warmed Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a dish, & add some of the Balsamic Vinegar. Dip in fresh Crusty Bread as starter. Would recommend this lovelyProduct.
