Bodacious Traditional 18 Year Style Dark Balsamic is our premium balsamic offering from Modena, Italy, aged to perfection using the traditional Solera System in barrels made of chestnut, oak, mulberry, and ash. This meticulous aging process, along with cooking in copper kettles, results in a balsamic with an exceptional natural density of 1.28+ and a low acidity of 4%, surpassing Four Leaf Quality standards. The result is a balsamic that is exceedingly rich, complex, and dense—without any added sugars or thickeners. It pairs wonderfully with any olive oil in our collection, making it ideal for vinaigrettes, glazes, and marinades, as well as for drizzling over fruits, vegetables, or marinating meats and poultry. Free from caramel coloring and artificial additives, our Traditional 18 Year Style Balsamic embodies the art of classic balsamic production and offers a luxurious depth to any culinary creation.
