Messino Truffle Balsamic Cream – 250 ml
Truffles in the kitchen don't need much – just a good, distinct accent. Messino Truffle Balsamic Cream combines aged balsamic vinegar (40%) with concentrated grape must and is seasoned with natural black truffle flavor. The result is a thick glaze with balsamic acidity, a slightly "earthy" background, and a strong, truffly finish – perfect for pasta, mushrooms, and cheeses.
Taste and consistency
A thick, glossy cream with a sweet-and-sour balsamic base and a distinct, truffly aftertaste. Truffle is the main accent here: aromatic, "gourmet," best dispensed in a thin drizzle.

Application

- vegetables: roasted and grilled – "gourmet" effect in a minute
- cheeses: hard and salty (e.g., aged) and milder (mozzarella, goat)
