Reduced Shipping Costs

Many of our ingredients are perishable and therefore by necessity, require FEDEX Standard Overnight shipping. There is no way around it - it's costly, and understanding shipping calculations practically requires a degree in actuary science!

In order to help defray your cost of shipping, we have incorporated shipping discounts for many of our finer ingredients. These ingredients are noted on the web site and the discounts will be automatically calculated when the ingredient is added to your cart. These discounts are cumalitive, so you could end up with very low or no shipping charges. (dependant on your location)

The best part is that you might as well add that extra pound of mushrooms, a bottle of truffle oil, some pasta or your favorite "pantry staples" because the shipping costs may not even change!

Artisan/History/Story

Compagnia del Montale is a small vinegar house in the Modena district of Italy. Strict traditions are followed by cooking grape must in small batches and then aging for years in barrels of varying sizes to reach the desired flavors. They are in the district which is allowed to produce true "balsamic aceto traditionale." They utilize the same process for this special-edition balsamic vinegar. Although allowed under this label type, they never add thickeners, sweeteners or stabilizers. See "artisan highlight" for more information about the time-honored process of true balsamic from Modena, Italy.

How to Prep/Store

Store out of direct sunlight and heat. This attractive bottle will look lovely on your counter or cheese board presentation. Best of all, its special price is no guilt! Drizzle on cheese, strawberries, salad greens, asparagus . . . whatever you like!

Recipe Ideas

Besides the usual drizzling on salads and fresh hard cheeses, I love to take thick-cut potato chips (kettle chips work well), crumble on fresh blue cheese and toast for a few minutes to slightly melt the cheese. Then drizzle with this delicious balsamic vinegar. Perhaps you've had a similar snack in a local restaurant? I guarantee you this special-edition balsamic vinegar makes ALL the difference! If you are feeling adventurous make homemade chips.
