Messino Orange Balsamic Cream – 250 ml
This balsamic cream delivers citrus freshness without having to make dressing from scratch. Messino Orange Balsamic Cream is made with white balsamic vinegar (40%) and concentrated orange juice. It has a fruity aroma, a sweet and sour balance, and a true orange finish – great for salads, cheeses, and meat marinades.
Taste and texture
A thick, pourable glaze with a fresh, citrus profile. The orange is noticeable in the aroma and aftertaste, while the white balsamic provides a mild acidity. This offers a lighter finish than classic dark balsamic – more fruity and "clean."

Usage
