Messino – Lemon Balsamic Cream 250 ml
If you like citrus freshness, but in an "edible" version, this balsamic cream does a great job. Messino Lemon Balsamic Cream is made with white balsamic vinegar (40%) and white grape must, and the whole is flavored with natural lemon extract. It has a delicate acidity, strong aroma, and a citrus finish – perfect for salads, vegetables, and fish.
Taste and Consistency
