Messino Apple Cider Cream – 250 ml
This is not a classic balsamic cream – it's based on apple cider vinegar. Messino Apple Cider Cream combines apple cider vinegar (40%) with concentrated apple juice and natural apple flavor. The result is a thick, fruity glaze with a golden-brown color and a distinct apple finish – perfect for salads, cheeses, grilled vegetables, and marinades.
Taste and consistency
Thick, pourable, with a full fruity character and a distinct apple cider vinegar acidity. It has an aromatic profile and an apple aftertaste, making it excellent as a "finisher" for dishes and a base for vinaigrettes.
