REALE Balsamic Vinegar is REAL Vinegar!  There is just ONE ingredient – grapes!   The Leonardi family has been making Balsamic Vinegar for 147 years with sheer artistry and craft.  They use Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes that are grown on their estate in Italy.  The grapes are cooked at a low temperature for 36 hours which produces a grape must.  The must is then placed in large wooden barrels (oak, chestnut, cherry, ash, juniper,  and mulberry) with a starter, similar to sourdough bread.  At the end of the first year, the musts are moved to smaller barrels made from a different wood.  At the end of the 5-year cycle, the must has gone through 5 barrels of different woods to achieve its full character and distinctive flavor.  The flavor of Balsamic evolves over time and the longer it is aged, the richer and sweeter it becomes.  This 100% Balsamic Vinegar will complement a wide range of provisions.  We enjoy with salads and greens of all variety, over grilled red and white meat and drizzled over fresh mozzarella or any other favorite cheese!
