La Piana Gold Quality Aged Balsamic Vinegar PGI

La Piana 20 is real balsamic vinegar. Thick, syrupy, sweet. Like well-aged balsamic vinegar is supposed to be. I use it in salads and cooking. It is my go-to vinegar. Italian Foods Inc also has the best price.

Way Over priced.

Actually, the product is excellent, but the price has increased 35% in a year! La Piana has priced itself out of the market for me. Really disappointing, but I'll get by.

Folks, I ordered this based on reviews I had read here. I wish that Amazon would at least provide the information on the label so a consumer can make a educated choice. First and foremost, this is not real balsamic vinegar. It is Wine Vinegar & cooked grape must, with a acidity of 6%. True Balsamic Vinegar ingredients is: "is made from the Trebbiano grape. The rich brown color comes from being aged in wood casks, often for decades. Although it is made from grapes, balsamic vinegar isn't produced from wine (as are most vinegars). The authentic product may not contain any wine vinegars - the grape juice is simply reduced and then made directly into vinegar." and will have acidity of 4%.I made the mistake of opening my bottle and will see if Amazon will take it back.

Pretty good. Price is cheap for a 20yr old balsamic.Not quite as good as a Modena.

This is a great balsamic vinegar! If there is vegan or vegetarian on your gift list, this will make them very happy! I often give it as a hostess gift and it always gets rave reviews. I put this on steamed or sauteed​ vegetables and all my salads. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor.

This Balsamic Vinegar is OK, not as great as I thought. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but for the price I can buy two bottles of other brand from Italy as good or better, and older.

This is one of the best 20-year balsamic vinegars for the price. I'm American-Italian with a fussy palate inherited from my Dad, and this sweet, syrupy balsamic is amazing on salads, fruits, vegetables ..... just about anything you can think of. I don't use it in cooking or marinating because it seems wasteful to me.Try it - I think you'll enjoy it!Ciao Tutti !!Update: 07/01/11Unfortunately, I have not purchased the La Piana for several months now. The flavor and texture has changed dramatically, in my opinion. Also, the labeling is different from my earlier purchases.
