BalsaMela Sweet Apple Balsamic Vinegar

BalsaMela is a uniquely crafted sweet apple balsamic vinegar made from 100% organic apple juice—not flavored, but fully transformed through cooking and natural acetification with organic apple vinegar. Its delicate acidity and rich apple aroma recall the comforting scent of baked apples, while its sweet-sour balance makes it an incredibly versatile pantry staple. Drizzle it over roasted pork, fresh goat cheese, or grilled vegetables, or try it with desserts like strudel and custard. It’s also excellent in vinaigrettes, cocktails, and barbecue sauces.

Acetaia San Giacomo, based near Parma in Emilia-Romagna, brings together centuries-old vinegar-making tradition with a willingness to explore new ideas. Their BalsaMela is inspired by the apple balsamic vinegars once made in the hills of Modena and Reggio Emilia when grapes were scarce—proof that innovation can still honor history.
