I bought this as a Christmas gift for my fiance because he LOVES balsamic. He had me try this set and I genuinely loved it. The aging variety is fun and it was exciting to try them. Each one had a distinct smell, flavor and consistency. This set changed my opinion of balsamic and I will be ordering again. Review: Fantastic Balsamic Vinegar, better than many 12-yr DOP balsamics! - Note- this review is about the High Density 5-Star version of this product. This is now the best IGP balsamic I have ever tried to date. It is as thick as the DOP grade balsamics, and the flavor profile is better than many of the 12-yr DOP vinegars that I have had. This is sweet but not overly sweet, and it has just the right amount of sour. There is no obvious wine vinegar taste like many of the other lower grade IGP balsamics exhibit. The flavor is very complex. This is seriously just about as good as La Secchia's 12 year DOP grade, and not very noticeably inferior to their extra vecchio 25yr either, which are both FANTASTIC balsamics in their own right. I put this out for a group of people drizzled on sliced 24 month DOP parmesan cheese, half with this product, the other half with the La Secchia extra vecchio DOP grade. 4 out of the 6 people could barely tell the difference. 4 noted the extra vecchio was slightly better, and one liked this one better! This is truly at the top of the IGP realm, but priced at a level where it can be used more often than your coveted special occasion DOP balsamics. This is now my everyday use balsamic. It really is good enough to be used on ice cream and fruits as well! La Secchia products are a fantastic value, and this one is no different. It is definitely worth every penny, and then some.

Great value for top quality.
IMO the flavor of this Balsamic Vinegar is addicting. I drizzle it on Bruschetta with EVOO, scrambled eggs, fermented dairy, and vegetables. My understanding is that it reduces blood sugar spikes. The flavor is as good as vinegar three times the cost.

Balsamic is great but leaked in delivery.
We were in Italy and had this excellent tasting balsamic vinegar. Came home and ordered but unfortunately the bottle leaked during delivery and a decent amount was lost in the packaging/box (see attached picture). Hoping Amazon will send out a replacement.

Delicioso..... a wonderful Aceto.
La Secchia 5 Star, is an absolutely delicious IGP Aceto. Very concentrated flavor.... sweet, and pleasantly acetic. I did side by side taste testing against Giusti 3 Gold Medal and Due Vittorie Oro Gold, and I find La Secchia to be thicker, with a more concentrated, flavorful profile. They are all nice, but La Secchia 5 Star was by far the best. Sweeter, thicker, with far more gentle acetic nature to it. I was curious, to find the age of this, so I wrote to LA Secchia, and the owner Lorenzo, actually took the time to right me back informing me the 5 Star is aged for 8 years..... with 60%+ of grape must. And they use all small barrels from what I understand. I wrote to several Balsamic producers inquiring on the ages of their different IGP, and Lorenzo from La Secchia was the only one kind enough and caring enough to write back with a lengthy and very informative response......... that is someone who cares about the product and the customer! They won me over as a customer-- It is the only IGP I will buy now. I am looking forward to treating my self, and indulging in their 20 year old Traditional PDO...... Joseph

Nice, but not for the $
I bought this vinegar bc I ran out, saw the reviews, and thought I'd give it a try. I'm so disappointed. For the $, I was hoping for a vinegar that would really stand out. This does not. It's thin & not very sweet or flavorful. I purchased "Whole Foods Market, Premium Super Dense Balsamic Vinegar, 8.5 Fl Oz" for LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE a few months ago ($10.49) which has a better flavor & consistency (thicker). As a vegan, who eats a salad at least 4x/wk, I go thru a LOT of vinegar. I won't waste my $ again. I'll just get the Whole Foods brand & save some $.

If you've only tasted cheap balsamic vingegars; this is a revelation.
Very good balsamic vinegar. Great taste balance from the outset and it gets sweeter & slightly less acid over time. I usually dispense this via a pipette - at this price, I can't afford to waste it. But since it's really it's a good product, it's worth every penny.

smaakvol en langdurig in jouw mond
Het is op de juiste balance van prijze en aantal rijpjaar. Het D.O.P series denk ik over-hyped is.
