NEW: La Vecchia Dispensa White and Rosé Condiment + 5 Ways to Use Them
Summer is just around the corner—and that means an abundance of fresh, seasonal vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, and fresh herbs. Let your summer produce shine with NEW White and Rosé Condiment from La Vecchia Dispensa, Italy’s renowned producer of premium balsamic vinegar and aceto balsamico .
Their unique white balsamic vinegar is made from selected white grape must from Trebbiano grapes, carefully blended with high-quality white wine vinegar. Unlike traditional aceto balsamico tradizionale , this condiment is not aged in wooden barrels but refined in steel to prevent oxidation. The result is a soft balsamic vinegar with very low acidity that enhances the natural notes of the grape must.
The Rosé Condiment follows the same process but uses Lambrusco red grapes, resulting in a beautiful pink color and fruity aroma. Both condiments have a low density of 1.21 Kg/L, making them perfectly fluid and easy to dose.
Read on for 5 fantastic ways to enhance your summer dishes with these special white balsamic and rosé condiments from La Vecchia Dispensa.
5 Ways to Use La Vecchia Dispensa White and Rosé Condiment
1. Create a sophisticated summer salad dressing
Mix the White Condiment with extra virgin olive oil, fresh thyme and finely chopped shallot for a delicate dressing. This soft balsamic vinegar has a perfect balance due to its low acidity and Trebbiano grape flavour that goes perfectly with rocket, goat cheese and roasted pine nuts. The steel maturation ensures that the pure, fruity flavours of the grape must are preserved without a woody aftertaste.
2. Elevate grilled vegetables with a colorful finish
Sprinkle grilled red peppers, tomatoes and red onions with the Rosé Condiment directly after grilling. The Lambrusco grapes perfectly enhance the natural sweetness of these red vegetables, while the low density of 1.21 Kg/L ensures an even distribution. This fruity white balsamic variant gives a subtle sour-sweet balance that complements the smoky grilled flavours.
3. Make an elegant glaze for white fish
Gently heat the White Condiment in a pan until it reduces slightly to a delicate glaze. This concentrated dressing is perfect for grilled sea bass, turbot or plaice. The soft acidity and fruity aroma of the Trebbiano grapes lend a subtle sweetness that enhances the delicate fish flavour without overpowering it—ideal for sophisticated fish dishes.
4. Create a refreshing rosé aperitif
Mix a teaspoon of Rosé Condiment with prosecco, a splash of sparkling water and fresh basil. Garnish with a lime wedge for a unique twist on a traditional Italian aperitif. The fruity aroma and soft acidity of this aceto balsamico variation provide a refined layer of flavour that is perfect for warm summer evenings.
5. Make a delicate carpaccio dressing
Drizzle the White Condiment over thin slices of beef carpaccio, combine with a drop of olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan shavings and fresh rocket. The low acidity does not "cook" the meat but rather gives it a subtle flavor enhancement. The concentrated grape must gives a natural sweetness that contrasts perfectly with the saltiness of the Parmesan.
