Our Chocolate & Coffee balsamic condimento is a decadent dessert infusion — our rich, intense Reserve balsamic combined with the natural aromas of chocolate and coffee. Thick, deep and indulgent, it's one for your desserts far more than your salads, and quite unlike anything on a UK supermarket shelf.

Drizzle it over ice cream, tiramisu, strawberries, chilled melon or pear, fruit salads and yoghurt — it's absolutely stunning over a baked New York vanilla cheesecake. For something more adventurous, some customers love mixing it with our Orange & Mandarin, Mint or Chilli oils to dress creative salads. Being made from grape must, it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and gluten free.

It's made from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes grown on the family estate of Nicolo Verrini, near Modena in northern Italy. The grapes are crushed and slowly cooked down over a long period into a remarkably thick, dense must, blended with a little wine vinegar and matured in ancient oak barrels — before the natural aromas of chocolate and coffee are infused to create this indulgent dessert balsamic. Bottled exclusively for The Gift of Oil.
