Introducing ‘Balsamico’: professional vinegars for aspiring chefs!
Balsamico Rich Balsamic Glaze is an award-winning new range of balsamic reductions available in six versatile flavours that are guaranteed to add a professional finish to any home cooked dishes.
The Balsamico glazes, produced by Imaginative Cuisine (www.imaginativecuisine.com), are ideal for dressing salads, garnishing plates, flavouring meat and fish or drizzling over desserts.
Whether you want to impress friends at home with dishes that look like they have just come out of a professional kitchen in a top restaurant, or just want to give your salad at lunch time that little bit extra - then Balsamico is the answer.
Balsamico glazes are fun and very easy to use in their soft, squeezable bottles, are suitable for vegetarians and contain 0% fat. Balsamico Rich Balsamic Glaze is made in Italy and produced from the very finest grapes that are fermented in oak, juniper and cherry barrels. It is then carefully blended with well-aged balsamic vinegar. The Balsamico range consists of six fabulous flavours:
- Original: provides a perfect accompaniment to meat, fish and salad, as well as being an ideal plate garnish
- Fig: perfect drizzled over salads with Parma ham, roquette and Parmesan, glazed on grilled or roasted meats, and it even goes well with lemon tart
- Cherry: great brushed on lamb chops or slow roasted joints and amazing with desserts like apple tart or ice cream
- Garlic: fantastic served with salads or roasted meats and vegetables toward end of cooking
- Chilli: - delicious drizzled on pizzas, pasta or seafood
- Vanilla: - exquisite on ice cream or poached fruit
In the past year Imaginative Cuisine and the Balsamico range have enjoyed great success. In October 2006, the product line was featured in the Trends and Innovation at SIAL and was awarded the prestigious SIAL Coup de Coeur Prize, positioning the company as a serious contender in the high-end food market.
With extensive distribution across the UK through major supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Budgens and Harvey Nichols - and availability in Europe, Balsamico is benefiting from its raised profile.
Owner Rick Pott, a fully trained and qualified chef, continues to evolve his company, with new recipes in constant development and a rapidly increasing presence in the market place. Beyond its retail operations, Imaginative Cuisine also supplies Balsamico to some of the UK's leading restaurants. Balsamico is set to be the must-have' of next season and an invaluable addition to any store cupboard.
