BBQ Messino Balsamic Cream – 250 ml
If you love the taste of grilled food and that delicate "smoky" finish, this balsamic cream is exactly for that. Messino Smoked Balsamic Cream is made from aged balsamic vinegar (40%) and concentrated grape must, with its character coming from natural barbecue flavor. It's a thick glaze that acts as a quick finish to a dish – a few drops and the flavor becomes more intense.
