This is a seriously authentically flavoured oil, which was utterly delicious as an accompaniment dip for my bourbon maple red onion and feta sourdough bread (yes, this infused bread was made with one of the balsamics). The smokiness was the perfect intense-level for me personally, and it brought my appetiser to a whole new level. One of your best!
Irish Coffee Affogato
This classic Italian after-dinner treat is well suited for St. Patrick’s Day. We spiked the espresso with a little Irish whiskey and Chocolate Dark Balsamic, a combination that pairs perfectly with mint chocolate chip ice cream.
