Our Truffle balsamic condimento is a delightfully earthy, sweet infusion — our rich, intense Reserve balsamic carrying the unmistakable natural aroma of truffle. Thick, deep and savoury, it's quite unlike anything on a UK supermarket shelf.

Drizzle it over a rocket salad, fish, meats, mushrooms, shavings of Parmigiano and other cheeses, risottos, green beans and asparagus — it's really good over a juicy rib-eye steak with a side of big flat mushrooms. It's also superb mixed with any of our olive oils as a dip with fresh bread or a dressing. Being made from grape must, it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and gluten free.

It's particularly impressive paired with our Truffle oil (double truffle!), or with our Chilli or Garlic oils. Because it's built on our Reserve balsamic, it brings real depth and density to whatever it finishes.

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 aroma of truffle is infused to create this earthy, sweet taste sensation. Bottled exclusively for The Gift of Oil.
