Full Olive Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar – Acetaia Millan, Argentina | 8.5oz Glass

Crafted in the Modena tradition with Argentine grapes

Full Olive presents Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar by Acetaia Millan, a thoughtful blend of regional sourcing and time honored technique. The journey begins with Ugni Blanc grapes harvested by hand in Mendoza’s high altitude Uco Valley. The grape must is slowly reduced to a dense, syrupy consistency, forming the heart of the glaze. Separately, white wine must is transformed into white wine vinegar and aged for a year in French oak, adding depth and warmth. When both components reach maturity, they are combined and subjected to a final seven day cooking stage to achieve the desired density that coats foods with a velvety glaze.

The result is a dark, glossy balsamic that offers a thick yet pourable texture with a nuanced aroma. The tasting balance features a gentle sweetness paired with a bright tartness, making it a versatile finish for a wide array of dishes without overpowering them. Packaged in an 8.5 oz glass bottle, it is designed for easy table use and kitchen storage.
