Versatile and easy to use, with an amber color and a sugary, fruity taste.
Cooked grape must, called “Saba”, is the main and most important ingredient for the production of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Already in use at the time of the ancient Romans, it is obtained by cooking must of local grapes in open air for many hours, reduced down to a sweet and dense syrup.
Appreciated especially by children, Saba is a versatile and natural sweetener, an excellent alternative to maple syrup, honey, or refined sugar. It pairs beautifully with all kinds of cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and desserts such as crumbles, crème caramel, panna cotta, and dried pastries. We especially recommend it for pancakes, waffles, ricotta-based cakes, and other soft desserts. It is also perfect for lacquering dishes or creating delicious sweet-and-sour sauces for savory pairings.
