When and Where: Saturday, 12/15, 3:00pm-5:00pm at Colfax and Fairfax.
Marczyk 2-year aged Balsamic. Start here. Great flavor for salads or as a finishing sauce. If a recipe calls for Balsamic reduction, here’s your vinegar. $13.99.
Saba. Acetaia Leonardi's Saba is unique. The family's Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes are grown and gently crushed. The juice and pulp is coarsely filtered and the mosto (mash) is cooked (cotto) in an open copper vat. The concentrated mosto cotto is then cooled and placed in large oak casks. The Saba will
stay in the casks for almost 4 years, giving a deep complexity to the
Saba, without converting it to vinegar. The fruity character of Saba
makes it an ideal addition to cheesecake, ice cream, fresh fruit and
even panna cotta. $24.99.
Riserva di Famiglia Condimento Balsamico 15 year. Young, lean, straightforward.
Riserva di Famiglia (Family Reserve)
is the Leonardi's family Balsamico. Aromas of tea and notes of
sarsaparilla and sassafras reminiscent of artisan root beer. Coffee and
bitter chocolate undertones. More acidic than any traditional balsamic
of similar age, but purposely so. Younger, leaner and more
straight-forward, this balsamic can enliven any pork chop, pork roast,
flank steaks and glazes. The perfect condiment for plated salads with
gorgonzola or sharp cheeses. $79.99.
L’Eccellenza Condimento Balsamico 20 year. Syrupy as a chocolate sauce!
Shades of brown with bright mirror reflections. Aromas of grapes,
apples and caramel with a well-balanced hint of wild flower honey and
maple syrup. Rich and vibrant on the tongue with a sudden lively finish
and evolving caramel flavors of raisins and fresh cherries. Enjoy it in its purest form on top of beef Carpaccio, or as
a finishing touch to charcoal grilled fillet mignon. Particularly
suited to drizzle over a baked pear or grilled apples. $109.00.
