For example, we learn that the Una Foglia (one leaf) is best for salad dressings, while the next grade up is smoother, making it ideal for finishing and for marinades. Three leaf Balsamic has a well rounded, full-bodied flavor, and is suggested for warm sauces over meats and fish. The four leaf is the one we all want to try. Its superb taste derives from only the best reserves and should be reserved exclusively for that special dessert, whether it be fresh fruit and ice cream or sweet cheeses.
Try them all. Each is represented with a 100 ml bottle and accompanying suggestions.

I got suggestions at your website as to how to use these different vinegars which was very helpful. We tried the 4 star on cheese and it was delicious. Maybe including some printed info in the box would have been good.

We mostly use balsamic with olive oil as a bread dip.but with this sample pack we have tried it in sauces and with stir fry. New and delightful flavors.

I purchased this set of Balsamic Vinegars for a Holiday Gift for a friend who has just finished remodeling her kitchen. This is the woman who has everything so I had to think long and hard about what to get her that she didn't already have or that she wouldn't already get for the holidays. I was browsing the iGourmet.com website and I came across this set of Balsamic Vinegars and it hit me...this is the PERFECT gift. I know that she doesn't have something like this because she commented that she liked the speciality balsamic I had in my kitchen that last time she was over cooking in my kitchen (long story!). This set is fantastic because it has something for everyone. One of the vinegars is best for Salad Dressings, the next level up is great for marinades, the next level from there (3 leaf) is is best for warm sauces over meats and fish and finally the four leaf is the one everyone wants to try and is reserved for speciality desserts. This one is especially wonderful just drizzled over ice cream. You are wondering, Balsamic Vinegar over Ice Cream? You have got to try it, once you do, you will be a convert, I assure you! Whether you are a beginner in tasting foods and experimenting with different flavors or a die hard foodie, this is a perfect set for everyone. I highly recommend it. Get them while you can, they won't be around long, especially at this price!

Have received for several years as a gift. Gave as a gift this year. Each leaf level is perfect for different foods (salads, pasta, dessert, etc.) I can just stand and taste the 4 leaf. Love over sliced tomatoes or cucumbers in the summer. What a good product.
