Concentrated vinegar is a condiment with an intense and aromatic flavor, perfect for enriching salads, grilled vegetables, and cheeses. Originating from Northern Italy, it is obtained through a concentration process of white wine vinegar, enriched with shallots, garlic, thyme, fresh bay leaves, whole pepper, and salt. Its traditional recipe involves a slow and delicate maceration of the ingredients, which gives the condiment a unique and distinctive taste. Concentrated vinegar is versatile in cooking and can also be used to marinate meat or add a touch of acidity to sauces and soups.
