• Acet-Up Balsamic Cream Sauce Average 4.5 out of 2 Reviews
  1. Excellent product
     Review Date: 10/02/2009; By: Kristine Cowan ( Los Angeles, CA )
     Drizzle over veggies, strawberries to make an ordinary dish exciting
  2. A Great Balsamic Creme
     Review Date: 02/27/2009; By: Richard Mangum ( Flagstaff, AZ )
     I have tried other balsamic creams. Some are syrupy and cloying. Others have an off taste, obviously based on an inferior stock. This balsamic tops them all, with the right combination of sweetness and acidity and full fruit flavor. It's handy to use and the price is right.

     Review Date: 09/15/2009; By: Michael Chazen ( Miami, FL )
     When you reach for anything that you need Balsamico for, use this! The difference between this and "other products" called balsamico is totally apparent from the moment you open the bottle.

     Review Date: 08/26/2009; By: Lisa Hale ( Elkhorn, WI )
     I found this balsamic vinegar on your website and I love it! The flavor is so rich and sweet. It pours like maple syrup. I sent it as a gift to my sister and now her entire family loves it. I just sent it again as her birthday present.

• Banda Rossa Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti Average 3.0 out of 2 Reviews
  1. TOO THIN
     Review Date: 05/26/2010; By: Michael O'Connor ( Weston, CT )
     Very thin w/little structure -a disapointment at this price range -good flavor but seems more like a $30 product
  2. no less than the red stripe
     Review Date: 01/04/2009; By: Rachel Smith ( Brooklyn, NY )
     Sour perfectly blended with complex fruit sweetness and a remarkable lack of acidity surrounding it. Not merely tart/sweet, an undertone of caramel and pepper sees to that.
• Glass Dropper for Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Average 4.0 out of 2 Reviews
  1. Almost perfect
     Review Date: 05/13/2010; By: Stephen Franco ( Harrison, AR )
     Good control over pour, no drips. Slightly oval shape where the small cork fits prevents a good seal is my only complaint.

• Gold Medal (Medagliere) Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti Average 4.7 out of 3 Reviews
  1. my favorite vinegar
     Review Date: 01/19/2010; By: Amy Reed ( Knoxville, TN )
     After my last bottle of this vinegar ran out, I tried to do the "smart" thing and buy a replacement at my local grocery store. I read all the labels and bought the one that soundest the best, at a fraction of the cost of this one. When I began using the replacement, my children complained about the dishes I used it in. "This tastes different! What's wrong?" I switched back. The comments are back to, "Mom, this is delicious!" I love this vinegar so much that I put it straight on a poached egg.
  2. Great Taste
     Review Date: 08/26/2009; By: Paula Bilyeu ( Carbondale, IL )

• Riccardo/IL Denso Giusti Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti Average 5.0 out of 7 Reviews
  1. Now for the good stuff.
     Review Date: 05/13/2010; By: Stephen Franco ( Harrison, AR )
     A bottle of Riccardo/IL Denso is my first venture beyond $10/bottle grocery store balsamic. The Riccardo is certainly in a different league than what I've used before. As you can see, I don't have much basis for a comparative review, but I will say that I and everyone who has tasted the Riccardo are amazed. I'm ruined now, no more grocery store faux-balsamic for me, It's time for the good stuff!

     Review Date: 10/30/2009; By: Brian Kuhn ( Hemingford, NE )
     We first came upon this fine balsamic on a trip to Italy, purchasing two bottles at Italian Loves, a little wine and balsamic tasting shop we found in Firenze. The price was double what you find here. I was going to buy it again from Italian Loves' web site, cringing at the cost of shipping, when I decided to go to Giuseppe Giusti's web site and contact them directly to see if they had outlets here in the U.S. The marketing director pointed me here, to Avanti Savoia. Bottom line -- The Riccardo/IL Denso is superb for cooking, as well as by itself on Parmigiano-Reggiano. Get it. Heck, at this price, get two!
  4. Giusti Balsamic

     We found this on a recent trip to Modena and loved it. It is basically the only balsamic that I use so even though I rate it 5 stars, I'm not sure what to compare it to.

     A friend brought us a bottle from Italy. We have been hooked ever since. I'm delighted to see that we can also purchase it in the U.S.! It's the best balsamic, by far, that I've ever tasted, and well worth the price!
  4. Saporoso Condimento
     Review Date: 01/31/2009; By: Katherine R Sheridan ( Albuquerque, NM )
     We first tasted this condimento in the central market in Florence,Italy when we rented an apartment there for a few weeks. It was among several balsamic vinegers that we tasted and purchased. This is the one we selected to use while we were living there and cooking for ourselves and our friends. We loved it. And it was affordable! We brought some back and of course the sad inevitable day of running out came and went. I decided to google the product name and found Avanti Savoia! What a delight it has been to do business with this company! I feel like I know them as friends! The service is so personal and rewarding. We order four bottles at a time and enjoy this condiment pared with a high quality olive oil on our salads year round. But oh, when summer rolls around and I can get baby lettuce from the grower's market nearby I am transported back to Florence! Thank you so much, Katy Sheridan Albuquerque, NM

     There are times when you want to use something other then an off the shelf "white wine V". This vinegar has a most subtle flavor and the real flavors actually come singing through.

     These are a great starter to any dinner. We tried a few last weekend with an Italian chicken dish and loved what they brought to the front of the meal. For a little extra enjoyment pair them with a nice premium olive oil.

     We have not experienced the olive oils as of yet, but did the Grissini. Your company is the BEST at packaging. Unfortunately, even with all you did to insure these arrive unbroken, they arrived in pieces. Very good product, but doubtful we will order them again. Thank you for taking such care in your packaging. It's greatly appreciated.

• Dark Chocolate Bar with Cacao Nibs Average 5.0 out of 2 Reviews
  1. A Real Crunch Bar!
     Review Date: 11/21/2009; By: Jennifer Phillips ( Angola, IN )
     This is the adult crunch bar. It is decadent dark chocolate with cacao nibs in it, and has that not too sweet, but not bitter either, taste that I love. The cacao nibs add flavor and crunch that is definitely grown up compared to rice krispy type. Five stars all the way!
  2. What a bar
     Review Date: 02/15/2009; By: Sean Evans ( Dayton, OH )
     This chocolate bar is very similar to the Tavoletta Granella Fava bar but not as amazing. My overall rating still stands with 5 stars and you will know why when you try it.

• Hachez Cocoa D'Arriba Mango & Chili Chocolate Bar Average 5.0 out of 2 Reviews
  1. An interesting flavor...
     Review Date: 02/16/2009; By: Janice Tocher ( Knoxville, TN )
     OK - at *first* I was not overjoyed with this bar. I had become accustomed to the Olivier chocolate flavor and texture. Then, after the 2nd or 3rd morsel, my goodness - I realized why Avanti Savoia added this bar to their chocolate collection! A complex flavor sensation in each bite - chocolate flavor followed by mango with a bit of heat on the edges of the tongue. NOTE: unless you like spicy food (which I do!), try a different Hachez chocolate. Looking forward to trying more of the Hachez chocolate line after this first trial!!
  2. Just a touch of heat
     Review Date: 02/07/2009; By: Sean Evans ( Dayton, OH )
     I am one who loves a little heat on anything I eat so why not chocolate right. Well this is a great use of sweet from the chocolate and mangoes with a little heat from the chillies. It makes you want to continue nibbling.

     While I prefer the Olivier brand chocolate for flavor, this dark chocolate has great flavor and a wonderful texture - very smooth. I like to celebrate occasions with a bit of dark chocolate. Hey, waking up and seeing another beautiful day is cause for celebration! I believe I'll have a bit of chocolate! :)

     Review Date: 08/04/2009; By: Janice Tocher ( Knoxville, TN )
     I made these for a board meeting and they were quite the hit! If you like the kind of brownies that resemble a cake, these are *not* for you! These brownies have a wonderful rich chocolate flavor. If you're a chocolate lover, you won't be disappointed.

     Full-bodied coffee that you feel good about drinking, as it was grown in an earth-friendly manner. No cream necessary, as there is no bitterness (but I love a dash of sugar in mine to satisfy my sweet tooth!).

     Review Date: 03/08/2009; By: Kellie Laporte ( Wolcott, CT )
     This is unlike any honey I've ever tasted. It's beyond ordianary honey. I never knew honey could be so good. I make everyone try it. This is a must buy. The only thing I don't like is the bottle because it is so tall, and the cover is a cork that you have to pull out to open. It gets tough since there is honey on it. I would prefer a smaller bottle that has a normal top that is attached and just snaps shut.

     Ms. Bu*****th put me off maple long ago. My mother always said, "back when I was a little girl syrup was different, it tasted better." Although I wasn't fond of cleaning the wax off the stpper, I was impressed with the contents. This maple syrup has a light pleasant maple taste and sweetness that doesn't bombard the mouth. I could enjoy a flavorful breakfast without the fearing the synthetic backlash and the impending typical maple syrup sugar rush.

     Honestly I expected the bottle to be bigger based on cost. Regardless of price you won't find another oil like this. After I ordered the first bottle and tried it, I went back online and ran them out of stock for very good reason - this oil is amazing. I try to use it sparingly but it always calls out "you know I am the best just use me"....when they say EVERYONE should have this in their kitchen that is not a sales pitch! It is the satisfied belly truth.

     Geraci extra virgin olive oil has a buttery, grassy/arugula flavor with a slight pine nut bitterness and subtle fruitiness. It's still complex but a lot less bitter than other olive oils. It's great on bread, with cheese, and with raw foods. Cooking would probably destroy it's delicate taste.

     So many whole wheat pastas sold in grocery stores taste like straw. I believe that if a food is good for you, it should also taste good. (Otherwise, why not just live on vitamin pills?) This penne satisfies my taste buds and fulfills my high standards for quality and nutritional value. Great with sauces or in a pasta salad. (Add a few caper berries and almond-stuffed olives with that broccoli!)

     This blend has become our herb of choice. It goes in my husband's Tuscan Bread and adds a zing--I use it in pasta, soups, on veggies. We should probably buy it in bulk.

     When you can not purchase fresh porcinis, these are your best substitute. I've bought other brands of dried porcinis, but these are the best! Try soaking in white or red wine for several hours before cooking.

     Review Date: 03/22/2009; Anonymous
     Honestly I expected the bottle to be bigger based on cost. Regardless of price you won't find another oil like this. After I ordered the first bottle and tried it, I went back online and ran them out of stock for very good reason - this oil is amazing. I try to use it sparingly but it always calls out "you know I am the best just use me"....when they say EVERYONE should have this in their kitchen that is not a sales pitch! It is the satisfied belly truth.

     I have tried other balsamic creams. Some are syrupy and cloying. Others have an off taste, obviously based on an inferior stock. This balsamic tops them all, with the right combination of sweetness and acidity and full fruit flavor. It's handy to use and the price is right.

     The New York Times had a recipe for salted cabbage and suggested sherry vinegar. The "Minimalist" said it is crisp and refreshing. He is right. The salted cabbage was terrific and so is the salad dressing I made with it. Very pleased with this lighter than balsamic but equally tasty vinegar.
