Pomegranate Balsamic-Dark

Indigenous to the warm climates of the Mediterranean and Middle East, the intense sweet-tart flavor of our Pomegranate balsamic is a perfect match for hearty meats like lamb and duck. Use alone or whisked together with your favorite oil over a mixed green salad with pomegranate seeds, toasted nuts and feta cheese.  Adds depth to any of your favorite pan sauces, braised meats or compotes.

Combine 2 parts Olive Oil with 1 part Pomegranate Balsamic.  Whisk together and serve.  To emulsify dab in a small amount of Dijon mustard or light mayo and continue whisking.  Oil and balsamic will become creamy in appearance.  Refrigerate remaining amount for up to 3 days.

Combine equal parts Pomegranate Balsamic with equal parts Olive Oil. We recommend preparing just enough to cover the protein. Place in zip-lock bag and squeeze out air. Place in refrigerator for at least six hours.

Note: For Fish, Seafood (catches from the water) we recommend rubbing the Olive Oil into the raw protein in the absence of the balsamic vinegar for approximately 30 minutes. We recommend NOT using balsamic during the marinade step to prevent the acidic balsamic from breaking down the delicate protein.  Instead, combine Olive Oil and Pomegranate Balsamic and use to drizzle over the finished product.

Our authentic barrel-aged Italian balsamics are naturally reduced through the aging process and without the addition of thickening agents such as high fructose corn syrup or molasses.  If you desire a thicker balsamic to use as a glaze or reduction then simply heat two times the amount needed in a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat with constant stirring.  As the balsamic starts to reduce it will pull to the sides of the pan.  Remove reduction from heat just prior to desired thickness, as the balsamic will continue to reduce until cooled.  Alternatively, reduce to desired thickness and place reduction in bowl over an ice bath.  As a rule of thumb 1/4 cup will reduce to approximately 50% within 3-5 minutes.  Reductions or “glazes” can be used as BBQ sauces, finishing glazes for fish, drizzled over ice cream.

Using our Pomegranate Balsamic is super simple and if you can use a tablespoon, which we know you can, then you can master any application.  We highly recommend viewing our TIPS & TRICKS page for helpful ideas.  If you need further inspiration please check out our RECIPE PAGE.  Please keep in mind; flavors are fairly flexible across recipes.
