Messino Honey Balsamic Cream – 250 ml
This is a balsamic cream for those who like the combination of honey and balsamic, but want a thicker, pourable consistency. Messino Honey Balsamic Cream combines balsamic vinegar with honey (40%) with concentrated grape must. The result is a glaze with a warm, honeyed character, a sweet-and-sour balance, and a consistency that adheres well to salads, cheeses, and roasted vegetables.
Flavor and consistency
Thick like a glaze, with a distinct balsamic aroma and a honeyed, "amber" finish. It's not a heavy sauce – rather a concentrated finishing touch that works in small amounts: a thin drizzle is enough to give the dish depth.
Origin and ingredients

Ingredients: balsamic vinegar with honey 40%, concentrated grape must.

Usage
- salads: as a ready-made "top-down" dressing (especially with cheese and nuts)
- cheeses: feta, manouri, aged cheeses – a honeyed break from saltiness

- caramelized onions: as a quick, aromatic accent
- desserts: Greek yogurt + nuts + a thin drizzle of glaze
