Balsamic Vinegars

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.

  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
1. 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.

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

Riccardo/IL Denso Giusti Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti Average 5.0 out of 5 Reviews
1. Brian K.
  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!
2. Giusti Balsamic

  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: Katy 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.

  Review Date: 01/30/2009; By: Tammy Mathews ( Marlborough, CT )

  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.

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.

  This is a interesting salt, that we are glad to have tried. I think it will be a real challenge to use this salt regularly, the sulfur really creates the egg flavor. I will use this for egg white omelets as I determine what quantity is the right touch. I highly recommend using a salt mill or mortar and pestle to assist in dissolving this unusual medicinal salt.

  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.

  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.

  After reading the previous review, I decided to add these Peperoncino (Red Pepper) Flakes to my most recent order. Most definitely, we were not disappointed! Spicy and adds a wonderful taste to nearly any dish - definitely better and fresher than any flakes I've gotten from local supermarket.

  Outstanding! These pepper flakes were spicy and very tasty. They are very superior to the supermarket brands of hot pepper flakes. I really enjoyed using them in my meatball and gravy recipe.

Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Italian Herb Dipping Set Average 5.0 out of 2 Reviews
1. Great gift
  Review Date: 12/21/2009; By: Theresa Carr ( Las Cruces, NM )
  I gave this to my husband as a gift and he loved it. The serving bottle is pretty. We decided against premixing the whole bottle and instead mix just enough for each serving. It still tastes great and is restaurant quality.
2. A must have for every Italian
  Review Date: 02/07/2009; By: Sean Evans ( Dayton, OH )
  This is a perfect way to start any Italian dinner. The Premium Olive Oil pairs very well with the Italian herb mix. Dip with your favorite bread and enjoy.

  I didn't care for this spice. It tasted stale, and had an unusual taste to it. It tasted more like a marjoram than oregano.

  I made a delicious mushroom and leek risotto with these Chantarelles, and I could not have been more pleased.
Dry Porcini Mushrooms
1. Best Buy!
  Review Date: 11/12/2009; By: Theresa Darling ( Warren, PA )
  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.

  You get about eight mushrooms. Just enough to cut up into a meal for 2 people, when mixed into rice.

  Review Date: 09/18/2009; By: jane Wiatr ( Union, NJ )
  The mushroom medley was added to homemade mushroom soup and the mushrooms were flavorful and delicious. In addition I bought the risotto. It was not sticky. Cooked up perfectly, which can be a challenge, but your brand was a sure winner.
Porcini Mushrooms
1. Nice quality
  Review Date: 03/03/2010; By: James Crandall ( Florence, AL )
  The flavor on these was good, and went well with the risotto that I used them in. Most of the mushroom pieces were large, and while there were broken pieces and dust sized pieces in the bag, it wasn't any more than with any other dried mushrooms I've run across.
2. Very good Mushrooms
  Review Date: 09/25/2009; By: Bryan Collado ( Forest Hills, NY )
  These mushrooms are excellent. Incredible how good these are compared to your average USA mushrooms. There really is a huge difference. Put them in a mushroom sauce, you'd feel like a gourmet chef at the taste.

  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.

  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.

  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.
