Giusti - "Saba" Cooked Must of Grapes - 250ml

SABA - Cooked grape must, called “Saba”, is the main and most important ingredient for the production of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Already in use at the time of the ancient Romans, it is obtained by cooking must of local grapes in open air for many hours, reduced down to a sweet and dense syrup. Appreciated especially by children, Saba is a versatile and natural sweetener, enhancing various ingredients and recipes. SERVING SUGGESTIONS - Excellent as a natural sweetener to replace maple syrup, honey, or refined sugar; Ideal on any kind of cheese, yogurt, ice cream, or desserts like crumbles, crème caramel, panna cotta, or dried pastries; We recommend it on pancakes or waffles, ricotta-based cakes, and soft desserts; Also perfect for lacquering or creating a sweet and sour sauce in savory pairings. TASTING NOTES - Dense, dark brown colour, with a sweet and caramelised flavour. RAW MATERIALS - Giusti proposes the raw materials as two individual products. The wine vinegar is aged in large oak barrels, where an intense flavour and woody notes are released. The “Saba”, local name for cooked grape must, is a particularly sweet and viscous liquid appreciated dating back to the ancient romans. SINCE 1605 - Giusti produces Balsamic Vinegar of Modena since 1605, handing down an old family recipe for 17 generations. Tied to tradition, but led with a young and innovative spirit, Giusti is the oldest Balsamic Vinegar maker in Italy, ageing its black gold in centuries-old barrels of fine woods.
